Figs In Brandy Recipes
BRANDIED FIGS
This preserving project is a fun and make-ahead friendly way to use up peak-season figs, and the payoff is great: Once the holidays roll around, you'll have an elegant fruit at your fingertips to serve with cheese platters, cookies, and pies. While this recipe from chef Scott Peacock is an easy one and mostly hands-off, it does take a couple of days to complete, so plan accordingly!

Steps:
- Wash figs a few at a time by quickly dipping them in a bowl of cool water. (Do not soak.) Place in a single layer on a kitchen towel; drain. Sprinkle 3/4 cup sugar evenly in a wide nonreactive pot. Top with figs, then sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup sugar. Cover; refrigerate at least 12 hours and up to 2 days.
- Place pot over low heat, uncovered, and bring figs to a bare simmer. (Tilt pan from side to side or swirl a bit to help sugar dissolve, but do not stir, or fruit may get damaged.) Partially cover and simmer 10 minutes; remove from heat. Cover; let stand 4 hours.
- Repeat step 2 twice; figs should turn translucent in final simmering stage. (If necessary, allow to simmer longer than 10 minutes in final simmer, until they do.)
- Carefully spoon hot figs into hot sterilized canning jars (ideally pint-size or smaller). Bring syrup to a boil, skimming any scum that rises to surface. Turn off heat; stir in brandy. Taste; add more brandy as desired. Pour hot syrup over fruit to cover. Seal and process in a hot-water bath 10 minutes. Figs can be stored in a cool, dark place up to 1 year.
BRANDIED PRESERVED FIGS
Great for preserving figs, which have a short growing season, this recipe will work with any fresh figs you have, such as Brown Turkey, Calimyrna, or Black Mission. Enjoy them as a simple dessert on their own, dressed up and served with ice cream or yogurt, or as a sweet salad topper. They could also be thinly sliced and served on toast as boozy spin on fig jam. Use the leftover syrup to sweeten cocktails or drizzle over fruit salad. Store canned figs in a cool, dry place for up to 1 year.

Steps:
- Wash figs a few at a time by quickly dipping into a large bowl of cool water. Drain in a single layer on a thick kitchen towel. Place figs in a single layer in a large, wide stockpot, Dutch oven, or saucepan. Cover figs with sugar; cover pan, and chill overnight or for up to 2 days.
- Place pan over low heat, and slowly bring figs to a gentle simmer without stirring (about 1 hour and 45 minutes; do not let mixture come to a boil). Partially cover pan; simmer gently for 10 minutes or until figs begin to soften. Remove from heat; cover completely. Let stand 8 to 12 hours. Return pan to low heat, and repeat process twice, reducing stand time to 4 hours after last simmer.
- Return fruit to a simmer; carefully spoon hot fruit evenly into 4 or 5 hot, sterilized 1-pint canning jars, reserving syrup in pan.
- Bring syrup in stockpot to a boil over medium, skimming if necessary. Remove from heat; stir in brandy.
- Cover fruit with hot syrup, filling to 1/2 inch from top. Remove air bubbles; wipe jar rims. Cover jars immediately with their metal lids and screw-on bands. Process in boiling-water bath 10 minutes.

FIG BRANDY AND BRANDIED FIGS
When fresh figs are ripe and rich with honeyed flavor, spend just a few minutes in the kitchen to prepare for the holiday season ahead. Use inexpensive brandy. After a month, the liquid transforms to a syrupy, sweet sip, sensational with a cookie or a bit of cheese. There's a bonus, too. The figs will be infused with the citrusy, herbal brandy, ready to slice thin and serve over ice cream or match slim wedges with creamy blue cheese.-Cathy BarrowThis recipe is from columnist and cookbook author Cathy Barrow, and was originally published in the Chicago Tribune.

Steps:
- Step 1: Pierce 9 to 12 fresh figs (4 or 5 times each) with a sharp knife. Place the figs in a wide-mouth quart glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, alternately layering in lemon slices (from 1 lemon) and 3 sprigs fresh thyme. Pack firmly and fill the jar, being careful not to split open any of the figs; sliced or broken fruit will make the brandy murky.
- Step 2: Pour 1 1/2 to 2 cups brandy over the figs to fill the jar. Seal and place the jar in a dark cupboard and make a note on the calendar: Fig Brandy Ready in 30 days.
- Step 3: After 30 days, pour the brandy through a fine-mesh strainer into a jar or gift bottle. The brandy will keep for 1 year. Serve chilled in small glasses.
- Step 4: Discard the lemon slices and thyme. Store the brandied figs in a covered container in the refrigerator. The figs will keep for a month.

FIGS IN BRANDY
This recipe is from Saveur. Preserving figs in citric acid ( I used lemon juice) and brandy helps prevent the growth of microorganisms in the fruit and boiling the mixture in canning jars produces an airtight seal. If you have leftover fig syrup when you are finished canning, strain and refrigerate it to drizzle over ice cream or to stir into iced tea. This recipe using a boiling water bath for canning. There are many good instructional sites on Recipezaar if you are unfamiliar with this type of canning.
