Brown Fig Preserves
["15 c. figs", "5 lb. sugar"]
["Clean figs in water, remove stems and cut figs in half. (If desired, they can be left whole.) Place in a large pan, a dish pan works well. Put 5 pounds of sugar on top, heat stove to medium and cook for one minute. Then place on low setting and stir often for about 4 hours, until thickened and almost no juice. Allow to cool overnight. Sterilize canning lids, rings, funnel and dipping spoon in boiling water. Cook jars 10 to 20 minutes in a 200\u00b0 oven. Place figs in jars, seal tightly and boil in a water canner 30 minutes. Cool overnight."]
