Found that the most efficient way of peeling figs is to rub them briskly with your hands, under running water, while they are still frozen The skin just falls off.
7 pounds of fresh and frozen E.B.T. (peeled)
7 cups of sugar
a good squeeze of lemon juice
bring to a boil for 20 minutes
add a packet of sure-jel, just for insurance
can per standard water-bath method
allow to cool
spread on toast for breakfast.

Looks yummy! Did you bring enough for the rest of the class?

10 Pints... so far.

OK, Field Trip to Sandsquid's for breakfast!

Steve,
Good deal, I don't have as far to go as you!  So there just might not be any left when you get there.
 
Cecil ;-)

the recipe always sounded complicated but you make it sound like a breeze.  I might get out my frozen figs and give it a shot! Thanks!

My credo is "recipies are for people who lack imagination". Just experiment and make what you think will taste good.

Next batch I'm going to add some fresh ground nutmeg and cinnamon.
