DirectionsStep1Scrape the unripe figs and cut any brown tips off the stalks.Step2Use a sharp knife to make crosswise slits at the stalk end of the fig. Alternately you may make the crosswise slit at the bottom end of each fig.Step3Prick the figs and place in a deep bowl with 2 liters of water and the 38 grams salt. Move the figs around to distribute the salt in the water.Step4Let the figs soak for a minimum of 9 hours or overnight.Step5After the soaking time has elapsed you will notice that some of the figs may have a sticky oily residue. Brush this off with a new soft scouring sponge.Step6Rinse the figs and place into a deep pot with at least 4 liters capacity.Step7Add the 5 ml bicarbonate of soda and 28.5 grams salt and mix into the water to distribute it evenly.Step8Bring the pot to the boil on medium high and boil for 30 minutes or until soft. Skim off any scum that rises to the surface.Step9When the figs are soft, pour off the water and put the figs back into a clean pot.Step10Add the sugar and 200 ml of the water to the figs and return to the heat on the lowest setting.Step11Stir occasionally and wipe down the sides with a clean spatula or silicone brush to ensure that the sugar does not crystallize on the sides of the pot.Step12The sugar will dissolve slowly and it requires a stir every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking.Step13After the first hour you may add 100 ml of water, pouring it down the sides of the pot.Step14Continue stirring every 20 minutes without breaking the figs.Step15After the second hour you can add the other 100 ml water and the lemon juice.Step16By now you will see that the figs are becoming darker and more translucent and the syrup will start to thicken.Step17After the third hour add the last 100 ml of water and cook for a further 15 minutes or until the figs are completely translucent.Step18Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes before decanting into sterilized preserving jarsIngredientsIngredients2 litersWater (approximately 4 cups)38 gramsSalt (approximately 30 ml or 2 tablespoons)1.12 kilogramsUnripe Green Figs3 litersWater (approximately 6 cups)5 millilitersBicarbonate Of Soda (approximately 1 teaspoon)28 ½ gramsSalt (approximately 22.5 ml or 1.5 tablespoons)1 ⅕ kilogramsFine Granulated Sugar (approximately 1500 ml or 6 cups)500 millilitersWater (approximately 2 cups)30 millilitersLemon Juice (approximately 2 tablespoons)See moreNutritionalNutritional228 Calories59 gCarbohydrate1,130 mgSodium0.8 gProteinFrom tantalisemytastebuds.comRecipeDirectionsIngredientsNutritionalExplore furtherGreen Fig Preserve Recipe: A Taste of South Africa - …gardenista.comHere's what to do with unripe figs - Houzzhouzz.comHow to preserve your own green figs - Pure Boland Marketpurebolandmarket.co.zaPreserved Green Figs - Garden Variety Lifegardenvarietylife.comAromatic Green Fig Preserve Recipe - Marc Kentsouthafrica.co.zaRecommended to you based on what's popular • Feedback
