Notes
Notes:
I used Black Mission Figs (the ones with the purple skin) but you can use any variety that you’d like.
The overall sweetness will vary depending on the type of fig used. Taste the mixture before pressing it into bars. If you feel like it needs a little extra sweetness, you can add more golden raisins or dates.
This recipe makes 9 bars.
