Canned Figs- what to do with them?

[Anonymous]

As a family tradition, we eat canned figs on Christmas morning. This year, I couldn't find any small cans, just one huge industrial size can of figs, so I bought it. But now there will be a ton of leftover, canned figs that I'll need to use in some way within a day or two of opening the can.

I'm searching for recipes that use canned or preserved figs and am coming up with nothing. Any ideas? Any recipes?

We (the adults) eat them soaked in alcohol over ice cream or plain cake.

I don't know what a canned fig is, but could you put it on a pizza (no tomato sauce) with brie and maybe some caramelized onions?

Make a balsamic fig sauce for meat or Brussels sprouts?

Smoothies
Fig bars
Figgy pudding (I don't know what that is tbh)
preserves?

Here's a picture of what they look like:

They are green and extraordinarily soft.

wow, I never heard of canned figs! Are they good? Is this an ethnic tradition to eat figs at christmas?

I think if I had extras, I would puree them for a cookie filling. You might have to cook them down a little if they are too watery.

From a website

Preserved figs are perfect for serving with hot, buttered homemade buttermilk biscuits or even simple toast, of course, but they're good just to eat as they are, spooned over ice cream, on top of crostini spread with cream cheese, goat cheese or blue cheese, mashed up to use in baked goods and other recipes, or even tossed on a salad.
