I tried the recipe and it failed big time. The figs were falling apart when i squeezed them. They were also incredibly sticky. Then the syrup was not tick at all – looked more like a fig compote. Not sweet also. I have had many times unripe fig jam bought from the store but this was nothing like this. Any ideas why all this happened? Thanks

Tebrik ederim Zerrin. Senin adına çok sevindim:)) Allah sağlıklı, mutlu, uzun bir ömür versin minik bebeğimize…
İncir reçelini eşim çok sever, annesi yapıp verir ama, ben hiç denemedim. Çok lezzetli görünüyor, ellerine sağlık olsun. Sevgiler.

Hello Zerrin!
Thank you so much for the recipe! My figs are no longer ripening on the tree now that the evenings are so much cooler here in California. One woman at church told me there was really nothing to be done with unripe figs (I obviously asked the wrong person about what to do!). But then I stumbled upon your site… thank you!! I am happy now that I know I won’t have to “waste” the beautiful figs on my tree!
Although it’s over a year since you’ve become an aunt, I extend my congratulations and wish your neice a long and happy life – God grant her many years!

Gourmet Mama- Hope you love it when you try.

Chef chong- Yes, it definitely takes the unripeness of figs.

Jennifer- This is a great way to use unripe figs, hope you love it when you try. It can even be eaten as a dessert after meal. I know that walnut dessert you mentioned, but don’t have the courage to try it yet as it is not an easy one.

Yael- I’m glad to hear that you and your family loved my unripe fig jam/dessert. It is definitely scrumptious, but I couldn’t make it this summer. Wish I could taste yours:)

It has been a very mild summer here in California and our fig tree has not had anything ripe yet! I am glad to find this recipe and can’t wait to try it out on all our unripe figs. On a trip to Turkey 2 years ago we ate figs like this and also eggplant and walnut. The walnuts (ceviz) were outstanding!! They, too, were made from unripe fruit. I would love to find a recipe for the walnuts too. Thank you so much for your recipe!

I love your idea of boiling the figs, to get rid of those green taste. Thanks.

This recipe is perfect, since I just found some fresh figs at the market. I didn’t know what to look for, though, and it turns out they are all unripe. I will definitely be making this recipe!

Hi Stephanie,

I love that idea of exchanging jam, it’s so exciting! I read the info about this event on your blog, you say we can join even if we’re in different countries. I’m living in Turkey, please check if your post service says ok to sending something to Turkey.
I’ll ask our post service, too if I can send something like food to abroad .
Then we can clarify if I can join it or not.
