Anyone have any receipe's for the 3 pounds of ripe, sweet figs I've placed
in the fridge to keep them from spoiling?

Put in stainless cooking pot, add 3 pounds of sugar, let set at room temp 24
hours, brig to boil and boil until figs a clear. Let set overnight at room
temp, and the next day run through the blender until no definable pieces of
fig are visible. Put bake in pot, add sliced lemon or a tablespoon of lemon
juice and bring to slow boil and cook until it thickens when a small amount is
placed in a spoon resting on ice. Bottle, or seal in jars, and enjoy one of
the best syrups you've ever put on your pancakes or fried chicken.
