8 c. figs
4 c. honey
1 lemon

Peel figs, mash them, and cook slowly. (Figs need not be peeled though peeling them will give a nicer quality.) When they reach a slow boil, add honey and finely sliced and chopped lemon, including rind. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick. Spoon into hot sterilized jars to within 1/4 inch from top. Seal. Process in a boiling-water bath for 10 minutes. Yield: 7 half-pints.
