Sweet Fig Delight

Recipe-Ingrediants

Fig!!!! My favorite sweet!! I can eat whole jars of it!! It's my preferred spoon sweet! Perhaps because I have associated it with childhood memories... In the village, every afternoon we would have ice cream with sweet fig on top. In the village, there is not a house without sweet fig. It is, of course, easy to make since Euboea is full of fig trees. It's no coincidence that it is the leading fruit here. The fruit that Kymi produces in large quantities. I remember from my childhood the distinctive aroma that filled all the streets and places in the village. They had the sweet fragrance of the fig trees. It's no wonder that Euboea is the queen of figs. Sweets, dishes, in all preparations, you can find them here! Wonderful fig syrup, where we make everything from small cookies to whatever you can imagine... And let's not forget the dried Kymi figs, now famous all over the world. I remember tourists taking bags of dried figs from Kymi back to their homeland... I have made many spoon sweets. But I wanted to make sweet fig in my homeland, together with a housewife from Kymi. All the ingredients of the sweet to come from there, so that when I serve it, it will have the aroma and taste of my homeland.

So, with a local housewife like Stavroula, we will make the sweet and she will share all the secrets of traditional Kymi sweet fig with me!!!!
