[Esp-Eng] 💝💖🍃 Higos en almíbar deliciosos y con mucho amor / Delicious figs in syrup and with a lot of love 🍃💖💝

My Marina aunt has four fig trees in her yard and takes care of them as if they were a baby, when you see them you can immediately know the love she puts on them, she is also always fighting with the bluebird birds because they eat the figs, in this harvest she decided not to leave them ripen and collect them to make sweets, a few days ago I went to visit her and she gave me a few, I was really excited to prepare the candy for the family.

The fig trees are near a corridor that sitting there is a delight, because when the breeze blows we can enjoy their delicate perfume.

Paso a paso / Step by step

🍃First we wash the figs well and then we remove the peduncle and make an X-shaped cut, when we cut it we will see that they give off a white liquid, which is not pleasant to the touch or to the palate; In order for it to release all that latex, we are going to soak it for about an hour, we are going to discard that water and then wash it again.

🍃 Then we are going to boil it together with the cinnamon, the guava pepper and the fig leaf until they are soft, you can also perfume it with the shell of a lemon. The fig leaf can be used to perfume other sweets, my aunts always add it to the milky one.

🍃Cuando los higos estén suavecitos le vamos a añadir el azúcar y dejamos que el agua se reduzca para que forme un delicioso almíbar y los higos se pongan oscuritos.

No sé si ustedes, pero yo me estoy imaginando este almíbar con unas panqueas.😋
Cuando esté listo dejamos que tome temperatura ambiente y lo guardamos en la nevera para servirlo frío.

🍃When the figs are soft, we are going to add the sugar and let the water reduce so that it forms a delicious syrup and the figs turn dark. I do not know if you, but I'm imagining this syrup with some pancakes.😋 When it's ready, let it reach room temperature and store it in the fridge to serve it cold.
