I made this recipe using figs that I picked at the beginning of June. I didn't need to deseed them and they turned out very tasty.

Steps

1

Cut a small ring at the bottom of the figs, not the stem side, circularly with a knife and punch the figs with a fork or a skewer in 2-3 places.
2

Boil the figs in a pot for 10 minutes in plenty of water.
3

Drain them, rinse and drain again. They should have softened a bit by now. Insert an almond from underneath each fig (the side that you previously cut). Stud them on the side with a clove, as well.
4

Put the cups of water, the sugar and figs in a pot to make the syrup as well as boil the figs. Skim off the foam if necessary.
5

Boil for only 15 minutes and leave the figs in the syrup overnight.
6

The following day boil the sweet until the syrup thickens and towards the end add the lemon juice.
7

Finally, store in sterilized jars, while still hot.
