3 kg green figs
1 tablespoon of salt
For the broth
2 kg of sugar crystals
6 cups of water
3 kg green figs
1 tablespoon of salt
For the broth
2 kg of sugar crystals
6 cups of water
Cut off the tip of each fig and let the white liquid drain out, overnight
The next day, lightly scrape off the skin with a knife (but be careful not to damage the fruit)
Make a cut in the middle, almost reaching the center of the fig
Place it in a bowl and cover with water
Let it rest for 3 hours
Drain and place the fruit in a large pot
Cover with water, add salt, and bring to a boil
Boil until the fig is slightly soft
Remove from heat and let cool completely
Wash thoroughly under running water until the water is clean and transparent
Let it sit for another day inside a bowl with a stream of water flowing from the faucet (so the water is constantly renewed)
Bring to a boil the ingredients for the broth
Stir only until the sugar crystals dissolve
Boil for about 2 minutes
Add the figs and cook until the fruit is soft but still firm, and the broth thickens
Remove from heat and let rest overnight
The next day, bring to a boil again until the broth thickens slightly
Serve in 20 portions.
