My grandmother and mother used to make the best ever spiced figs. They would can them and for a treat, we would have them with dinner. I cannot find a recipe for spiced figs. Does anyone have one? I remember they were very sweet. She canned them whole. Please help fulfill my craving! Thanks.

If this sounds like it could be the recipe you are looking for I can post it here.
