BRANDIED FIGS
This preserving project is a fun and make-ahead friendly way to use up peak-season figs, and the payoff is great: Once the holidays roll around, you'll have an elegant fruit at your fingertips to serve with cheese platters, cookies, and pies. While this recipe from chef Scott Peacock is an easy one and mostly hands-off, it does take a couple of days to complete, so plan accordingly!

Steps:
- Wash figs a few at a time by quickly dipping them in a bowl of cool water. (Do not soak.) Place in a single layer on a kitchen towel; drain. Sprinkle 3/4 cup sugar evenly in a wide nonreactive pot. Top with figs, then sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup sugar. Cover; refrigerate at least 12 hours and up to 2 days.
- Place pot over low heat, uncovered, and bring figs to a bare simmer. (Tilt pan from side to side or swirl a bit to help sugar dissolve, but do not stir, or fruit may get damaged.) Partially cover and simmer 10 minutes; remove from heat. Cover; let stand 4 hours.
- Repeat step 2 twice; figs should turn translucent in final simmering stage. (If necessary, allow to simmer longer than 10 minutes in final simmer, until they do.)
- Carefully spoon hot figs into hot sterilized canning jars (ideally pint-size or smaller). Bring syrup to a boil, skimming any scum that rises to surface. Turn off heat; stir in brandy. Taste; add more brandy as desired. Pour hot syrup over fruit to cover. Seal and process in a hot-water bath 10 minutes. Figs can be stored in a cool, dark place up to 1 year.

FIGS IN BRANDY
This recipe is from Saveur. Preserving figs in citric acid ( I used lemon juice) and brandy helps prevent the growth of microorganisms in the fruit and boiling the mixture in canning jars produces an airtight seal. If you have leftover fig syrup when you are finished canning, strain and refrigerate it to drizzle over ice cream or to stir into iced tea. This recipe using a boiling water bath for canning. There are many good instructional sites on Recipezaar if you are unfamiliar with this type of canning.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Rinse figs and place in a large pot.
- Combine the sugar with 2 cups (16 ounces) of water and dissolve the sugar.
- Add the sugar and water mixture to the pot. Add more water if necessary, to cover the figs. Heat on medium to medium-high until the water begins to boil. Reduce the heat. Allow it to simmer until the liquid is reduced to a thick syrup, approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Grate the orange zest.
- In a small saucepan, place the ground cinnamon, orange zest, brandy, and sherry. Heat on low and slowly bring to a boil. Stir to mix well, then remove from heat.
- Carefully remove the figs from the pot one by one, using tongs if needed. Place in a large open serving dish or bowl, or place on individual serving plates. Reserve the syrup.
- Pour the brandy sauce over the figs. Drizzle 4 to 6 serving spoonfuls of the syrup over the figs.
- Allow figs to cool (outside of refrigerator), marinating in a pool of the sauce for at least an hour before serving.
- If you will serve with almonds and whipped cream, add a dollop of whipped cream to each plate just before serving. Sprinkle almond slivers on top.

STEAMING FIG PUDDING
This recipe is a knock on effect of making my fig brandy ( http://www.food.com/recipe/fig-brandy-493487 ) as it leaves some lovely brandy soaked figs. What came from weeks of thinking while the figs soaked was a great idea for a steamed pudding.

Steps:
- Firstly you need dried figs that have been soaked (mine were in brandy because I had made fig brandy - http://www.food.com/recipe/fig-brandy-493487 ) you might want to leave yours for a few days in just orange juice or a drink of your choice.
- Use the mixer to stir the flour, suet and sugar together.
- Use the blender to make a purée from the figs.
- Mix the flour and fig purée together.
- Then add the water a little at a time until you get a soft "dough" (you might need a little more or a little less water depending on how wet other ingredients are).
- Butter 8 ramekins/tins/tubs that will hold about a tennis ball size of the mix.
- Fill each ramekin but leave a little space at the top as they will rise up.
- cover with foil and steam for 45 minutes in a double boiler type pan.
- Serve with custard, cream or icecream.
- (note - if you have used brandy soaked ones, don't give them to the children and don't drive !).
