Fig Paste
1 lb figs
3 pounds of granulated sugar
Chop the figs into pieces and boil them until tender, about one pound. Return to the water in which they were boiled, which should be reduced to one cupful. Stir in three pounds of granulated sugar and cook down slowly, until a thick paste is formed. Pour into pans lined with paper. Let it cool. Take out on the paper and cut into sections.
