Whilst looking for a recipe after being given a bagful of figs from friends I stumbled upon this. Incredibly easy to make and the result, a delcious sticky chutney far superior to anything you will find in the shops. Will be making more.

Hi! Could soft dried figs be used for this recipe instead of fresh figs?

Hello, Thank you for your question, we haven't tested this recipe with dried figs so we can't comment on that. We do have a recipe for a chutney that uses dried figs here: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/8155/pineapple-fig-and-ginger-chutney I hope this helps.
