I'm about to try this recipe, but - after reading the comment from pamela - I've decided to use preserving sugar rather than ordinary granulated.
I have just finished cooking this recipe and was quite dissapointed to find that I have had too simmer for double the time you state,also you do not specify black or green figs,so I have used green. comments will be greatfully received
