"I had a log of figs from my big Fig tree. After giving away, we still have bunch. I was wondering what to do, my 6 yr old suggested to look up on the internet. I found this recipe and tried it. It was easy to follow. I only use 1 CUP of sugar, substitude buttermilk with 2% milk plus a little melted butter. It came out great! My 6yr old gives thumbs up. Now I have a solution on how to consume the figs. Thanks to whoever uploaded this recipe. I will make more. Taotao"
