I grew up eating fig preserves that were only equal parts figs and sugar (by weight) and they were cooked until translucent and thick, packed into sterilized jars and sealed with melted wax. No one ever got sick eating any of them. I am not encouraging anyone to follow that practice but I still preserve figs the same way and only add a few lemon slices per jar and then process with the canning lids for 20 minutes. Used those preserves as much as a year later.

Oh how I love figs! Figs & onions?! Fantastic! Cheese, homemade crackers and a gin & tonic in hand would be perfect!

First time visitor, I was impressed both by the fact that you added a poem and the gorgeous fig and onion conserve!

Um, can I also say that the Neruda poem (and to remember to drop it in at a time like this: alliums month) is completely perfect, my dear.

i’d really be interrested in knowing how it turns out as a new version, because it sounds VERY yummy.
