• lemon
• lemon juice
• cinnamon
• vanilla extract

Instructions

1. 1 Fill a large bowl with cool water; add baking soda and stir to dissolve. Add figs and gently stir to clean. Drain water and rinse figs thoroughly with fresh, cool water. Drain again.
2. 2 Transfer figs to a large pot; add sugar, water, butter, lemon slices, lemon juice, cinnamon, vanilla, ginger, and cloves. Stir gently to dissolve sugar, keeping figs as intact as possible.
3. 3 Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring gently a few times to keep figs from burning onto the bottom, until figs are golden brown and coated in syrup, about 1 hour. Add salt to tame the sweetness if desired.
4. 4 Meanwhile, inspect 8 half-pint jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until figs are ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
5. 5 Pack figs into hot, sterilized jars and top off with syrup, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
6. 6 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 15 minutes.
