Step:

  1. Slice off both ends of the fig. 

  2. Put the figs in a pot with the sugar, water and the basil which you add 15 minutes later. 

  3. Leave them to boil for quite some time until the syrup thickens (like in spoon sweets) and they get a nice caramel colour. 

  4. Store them in sterilized jars (with the basil) and turn them upside down to seal. 


Ingredients

  1. 3 kg ripe figs 
  2. 2 kg sugar 
  3. 1 sprig basil 
  4. 1/2 cup water
