- 100 grams salt
Syrup
- 1 kg sugar

Soaking
- Snip off the tops and remove the hairy undersides of the figs without cutting into the figs and exposing the insides.
- Rinse the figs thoroughly to remove any debris and place in a large non-reactive bowl.
- Dissolve the salt in the water and pour over the figs, then cover and leave to soak overnight on the kitchen counter.
Syrup
- After soaking, pour off the water and gently peel off the outer layer of softened fig skin.
- Bring the sugar, water and cinnamon sticks to a boil in a large pot, then add the figs.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer the figs for 2 hours or until the figs are soft but not mushy, and the syrup is thick enough to cover the back of a spoon.
- Decant into warm, sterilised jars and seal.
