Shelf Life Tips

• Refrigerate in plastic bag.
• To freeze figs: (1) Wash and peel if desired; (2) Coat figs with a solution made of 1 1/2 teaspoons of ascorbic acid for each 6 tablespoons of cold water to prevent darkening; (3) Place in covered airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags.
• Freezer time shown is for best quality only — foods kept constantly frozen at 0° F will keep safe indefinitely.
