Go to your nearest Megabookstore (or a nice local one if the owners are
helpful) or the Web and find a recipe for fig jam. The kind I'm thinking of is
made in the Middle East and central Europe and is very very thick--basically
just slightly smashed figs and sugar==and flavored lightly with anise.
Delicious! If you don't like anise, experiment with your favorite spices--but
quick, don't let those wonderful figs go to waste.
