For all of you with a huge crop of figs sitting on your late crop fig trees here is my recipe for preserving them…

Place figs on a baking tray whole with stems still attached, drizzle honey over them and bake in the oven until they are well cooked, then place in preserving jars that have been heated in the oven, pour fig honey liquid over them until the jar is full and screw on the seal and bands. Honey Baked Figs are a treat with winter puddings or even whipped cream ice cream etc.
