Fig Candy
Boil over a slow fire one pound of sugar and a half pint of water until the syrup hardens when dropped into cold water. Add half a teaspoon of vinegar and remove from the fire, stirring once or twice before pouring over a layer of figs placed in deep dish. Dried figs may be used either previously soaked an hour in cold water, or those perfectly dry. They are more apt to give good results than the fresh figs.
