6. Allow the figs to stay in the oven for up 8 to 24 hours. The figs are dry when the outsides are leathery and no juice can be seen on the inside when you split one open. Store your dried figs in air-tight containers or freezer bags and keep them in the refrigerator or the freezer. To add sweetness to your figs before drying, dissolve 1 cup (236 ml) of sugar into 3 cups (709 ml) of water and bring it to a boil. 2  Add the figs to the water and sugar mixture and allow them simmer for approximately 10 minutes. 3  Remove the figs from the water and then follow the steps for sun or oven drying.
The Conifers are cone-bearing seed plants. Most are trees; some are shrubs. They are formally the Division Pinochet or Coniferous. Conifers are Gymnosperms. They are cone-bearing seed plants with vascular tissue; all living conifers are woody plants, the great majority being trees. Living conifers are all in the order Pinales.
Fossil conifers included many diverse forms, the most dramatically distinct from modern conifers being some herbaceous conifers with no woody stems. Major fossil orders of conifers or conifer-like plants include the Cordaitales, Vojnovskyales, Voltziales and perhaps also the Czekanowskiales (possibly more closely related to the Ginkgophyta).
