hi all, a bit of advice needed!! i swapped some courgettes!! for some figs with my neighbours, and they said how lovely they were stewed, cut in 1/4s bit of water and sugar and cook in saucepan! sounds lovely but i was too embarassed to ask if the figs needed peeling etc 1st or do i just wash them, chop and stew?
any help would be smashing, thanks!

hi chickchick,
you dont have to skin them as you can eat the skin i think they are nicer roasted and grilled jan

i posted oliveveiw the recipe the other day
