Do you know what variety they are???? Our best figs ever were the honey figs.......made the best fig preserves ever............are you sure that they are ripened? I am only used to the weather in TX so I really don't know what it's like in Greece.....do they "give" a bit when you press them......if so then they are ready........just go online......I do not, I'm sorry to say, have my mother-in-law's recipe, it wasn't anything big time.....sugar, Sure-Jell (don't know if you have that over there---it's a thickener for jellies and jams) water, and some lemons and lemon juice, but if yours are ripe and already not sweet you'd probably not want to add much lemon juice anyway......I'm sure that you will find something online.....maybe someone in Greece will have a recipe for you........different varieties really do have different tastes............good luck, Faye, and let us know how they turn out..........I hope that you can find SureJell there......they have recipes for ALL fruits
