Candied Figs

Fresh green ripe figs

-- enough for your electric

-- fry pan (not overripe)

1 ts Soda

1 1/4 c Apple cider

3 c Sugar

Boil some water in a medium size pan and add 1 teaspoon soda. Pour this
over figs and let stand for about five minutes. This must cover the figs;
turn them to be sure. Drain and rinse figs, and place in the electric fry
pan. In a small pan put the vinegar and sugar and bring to a boil. Pour
this over the figs; cover and cook 1 hour at 250 F. Cool and let stand
overnight. The next day, cook 1 hour without the cover. Cool and let
stand overnight. Third day, cook 1 hour and cool. When cool, arrange the
figs on a cookie sheet. Let stand for 2 or 3 days, turning once or twice.
After they are dry, pack them between layers of waxed paper. Keep
refrigerated until all are eaten.
