Quicker Fig Preserves

1. 1

   To reduce cooking time, freeze figs (make up preserves when it's cool weather!).

2. 2

   When ready to cook, knock off as much ice from the figs as possible.

3. 3

   Place figs in heavy-bottomed pan and cook very slowly until the figs have begun to melt; increase the temperature gradually until hot.

4. 4

   Add the sugar and cook until as thick as desired, stirring very frequently to prevent scorching. Add the ground ginger, a 1/2 teaspoonful at a time to taste. Bottle in sterilized half-pint jars.

5. 5

   Hot biscuits, here we come!
