Figs
Freezing figs is a great way to preserve them for future use. Here's how you can freeze figs.
Preparation
Wipe the figs if necessary, but do not wash them. Then, snip off the stems.
Packaging
Open flash freeze the figs on a baking sheet to prevent them from sticking together, then pack them into labeled and dated freezer bags.
Alternatively, you can pack them in labeled and dated rigid freezer containers either without sugar or in a light syrup.
Thawing
When you're ready to use the figs, defrost them in their wrappings for about 1 1/2 hours at room temperature.
Storage Time
Frozen figs can be stored for up to 12 months.
By following these simple steps, you can enjoy the delicious taste of figs throughout the year!
