A fig grower in Fresno, California, told me that his family makes its fig conserves flavored with cardamom and rose water. If you really like the perfumed flavor of roses, you can bring it up by stirring in ½ cup of Greek rose jam. This is very aromatic.
Ingredients
2 pounds 3 baskets 1½ cups
Method
Remove those skins that come off easily and leave the rest on. Chop the figs roughly; then stir in the sugar, half the rose water, and the cardamom. Cover and allow to sit overnight. If it’s very hot and the figs are overripe, put them in the refrigerator to keep them from turning.
The next day, put them in a stainless-steel or other non-corroding saucepan and slowly bring to a boil. Lo
