    Just cleaned out my cupboards and found half a pack of dried figs - they are starting to crystalise a bit so i want to use them asap - anyone got any good ideas - have tons of baking type stuff in so a cake/ loaf seems the obvious way to go.
    TIA

    I'd love a recipe too please. My husband brought a biiiig bag home from holiday and we have just been nibbling at them. Maybe fig rolls?

    I would have thought they would be nice chopped and mixed into flapjacks. Or, use them as a replacent in recipes including dates, eg date and walnut loaf.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    I'd go the flapjack route - dead simple!
