REFRIGERATE FIGS RECIPES
FIG AND LEMON REFRIGERATOR JAM RECIPE | SOUTHERN LIVING
Fig season in the South is so short and the fruit is so perishable that there should be a special holiday dedicated to enjoying this luscious, syrupy summertime treat. If you don't have a fig tree in your yard, pick up a few pounds of local figs at the farmers' market and try this easy jam. We call it a "refrigerator jam" because there's no canning required—just make the jam on the stovetop and let it cool. Then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three months. Fig and Lemon Refrigerator Jam is a fun cooking project for a summer afternoon and a great starter recipe if you've never made jam before. When shopping for figs, buy them when they are ripe, but not overripe, and use them within a day or two. Check for ripeness by gently wiggling the stem of the fig. The stem shouldn't move too much—that's a sign the fruit might be mushy inside. The bright acidity of fresh lemon juice and zest keeps the naturally sugary figs from being cloyingly sweet. This jam is excellent on hot buttered toast or toasted baguette slices topped with fresh ricotta. It also makes a tasty addition to a meat and cheese platter.

Steps:
- Stir together 1 lb. figs, chopped into 1/4-inch pieces; 1/3 cup granulated sugar; and 2 Tbsp. lemon zest in a saucepan. Let stand until figs are juicy and sugar is mostly dissolved, about 15 minutes.
- Add 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (from 3 lemons) and 1/3 cup water; bring to a boil over medium. Reduce heat to low; simmer, stirring occasionally, until figs are tender and broken down and syrup coats the back of a spoon, about 25 minutes.
- Cool completely, about 20 minutes. Store in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 3 months.
BRANDIED FIGS | MARTHA STEWART
This preserving project is a fun and make-ahead friendly way to use up peak-season figs, and the payoff is great: Once the holidays roll around, you'll have an elegant fruit at your fingertips to serve with cheese platters, cookies, and pies. While this recipe from chef Scott Peacock is an easy one and mostly hands-off, it does take a couple of days to complete, so plan accordingly!

Steps:
- Wash figs a few at a time by quickly dipping them in a bowl of cool water. (Do not soak.) Place in a single layer on a kitchen towel; drain. Sprinkle 3/4 cup sugar evenly in a wide nonreactive pot. Top with figs, then sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup sugar. Cover; refrigerate at least 12 hours and up to 2 days.
- Place pot over low heat, uncovered, and bring figs to a bare simmer. (Tilt pan from side to side or swirl a bit to help sugar dissolve, but do not stir, or fruit may get damaged.) Partially cover and simmer 10 minutes; remove from heat. Cover; let stand 4 hours.
- Repeat step 2 twice; figs should turn translucent in final simmering stage. (If necessary, allow to simmer longer than 10 minutes in final simmer, until they do.)
- Carefully spoon hot figs into hot sterilized canning jars (ideally pint-size or smaller). Bring syrup to a boil, skimming any scum that rises to surface. Turn off heat; stir in brandy. Taste; add more brandy as desired. Pour hot syrup over fruit to cover. Seal and process in a hot-water bath 10 minutes. Figs can be stored in a cool, dark place up to 1 year.

FIG AND CHERRY COOKIE PIES RECIPE - NYT COOKING
Similar to cucidati, the Italian fig cookies traditionally served at Christmastime, these adorable mini pies are filled with dried figs, dried cherries and almonds, then topped with a pretty almond-flavored glaze. But unlike most cucidati recipes, this one calls for softening the dried fruit in simmering water before it is puréed with nuts and spices. Sometimes dried fruit from the store comes without a drop of moisture left in it, so rehydrating it helps bring back some softness and ensures that the filling doesn’t rob moisture from the pastry as it bakes.

- Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, almond extract and 3 tablespoons cream. The icing should be spreadable. If it isn’t, stir in another tablespoon cream. Spread a bit of the glaze on each cookie and top with sprinkles. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for a month.

HOW TO STORE FRESH FIGS SO THEY DON'T GET MOLDY ...
Feb 13, 2018 · You realistically only have about three days to eat all of your figs. While you can keep figs on the counter at room temperature, you're going to have better luck at making them last if you refrigerate them. You should put them in a shallow bowl so they don't roll around and bruise, according to Megan Gordon at The Kitchn, and cover that bowl with plastic wrap so the fruit doesn't "start to smell like last night's leftovers!"
