Fig Bars


We have a fig tree, so I've tried a couple of fig bar recipes...here is the best one so far...


Filling:

2lbs fresh figs, chopped coarsely
1/2 cup sugar
2T lemon juice

boil stirring frequently until the liquid reduces by about 1/2 cup (can simmer longer, we like it to taste more figgy)

Cookie part:

3/4 C butter
1 C brown sugar

cream together. Add:
1 3/4 C flour mixed with 1/2 t salt and 1/2 t baking soda
add 1 1/2 C oats.

Pat half cookie mixture in bottom of greased 9 X 13 pan. Spoon on figs, pat on remaining topping. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 min. We like it served with ice cream:)
