Fig Bars Homemade Recipe Tutorial | Healthy Home Cooking | From Garden to Table | Fast Tasty Meal
One of my favorite homemade desserts... fig bars! We harvested our figs from our backyard but store-bought or dried figs would work just as well. You can cut down the amount of sugar recommended in the recipe if you want the natural fig taste to really shine! This recipe is from Betty Crocker but we simplified the steps a bit.

Fig Newtons
#fignewtons #freshfigs #howtodehydratefigs
Fresh figs are partially dehydrated in the oven to bring out their sweetness and then Donna makes the classic Fig Newton cookies.
Wash figs and remove the stems. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the figs and boil for 5 minutes. Strain and place figs on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in a 300F oven for 1 ½ hours, reduce heat to 200F and continue to bake until figs are soft and slightly caramelized (about another hour). Cool
Ingredients:
Dough:
1 ½ cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup softened butter
1 egg (room temperature)
⅓ cup sugar
4-3 tablespoons buttermilk (can substitute regular milk/half and half)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling:
1 cup figs
¼ cup sugar
½ teaspoon lemon juice
Optional : 1 tablespoon orange zest
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine. Add the sugar and butter. Stir or mix with your hands to combine like a pie dough.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and combine with 2 tablespoons buttermilk and the vanilla. Stir to combine.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, pour in the egg mixture and combine into a dough. May need to add more buttermilk (one tablespoon at a time) to form a soft dough. Divide the dough and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375F
Spread a large piece of plastic wrap on the work surface and roll out half the dough into a rectangle approximately 5 inches by 14 inches.
Combine the figs, lemon juice and ¼ cup of sugar and mash into a paste.
Place half the paste in the center of the rolled out dough. Use the plastic wrap to bring up the long end to the other side and gently press down on the dough to adhere. Sprinkle flour to help release the plastic wrap. Cut into 1 inch slices. You can sprinkle sugar on top for added crunch. Bake on a parchment lined cookie sheet for 15-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Store in an airtight container

#homemade - Fresh Fig Newton’s
Mrs JP’s Kitchen Creations -
Fresh Fig Newton’s
Ingredients
Filling
16 fresh figs; washed, dried, and quartered
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
Cookie Crust
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, at room temperature (12 tablespoons)
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 tablespoon orange zest
2 eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla
Instructions
1. In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, make the filling. Bring the figs, 1/2 cup brown sugar, lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon vanilla to a low boil, stirring as needed.
2. Reduce the heat and simmer for 40-50 minutes, occasionally smashing the larger pieces with the back of a fork and stirring. They will cook down and thicken with a jam-like consistency.
3.Remove the filling from the heat and cool completely. See Note**
4. Preheat the oven to 350. Butter a 9 X 13 baking dish, then line with parchment paper or foil then butter the parchment or foil. Use plenty of butter.
In a medium sized bowl whisk together the flours, baking powder, and salt.
5. In a large bowl, beat the butter and 1 1/2 cups brown sugar until it’s fluffy. Add the orange zest and eggs. Beat on medium until the dough comes together. Then stir in the vanilla.
6. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture with the mixer on low. The dough will be sticky.
7. Butter two “pan-sized” pieces of foil or parchment paper, measure 1 1/2 cups of the dough out, and roll or press the dough in between the pieces. This will be your top crust, so get it into a rectangle-ish shape if you can. Put it in the freezer.
8. Press the remaining dough into the prepared baking dish and bake for about 20 minutes. It will be pretty and golden brown.
9. Spread the fig filling across the baked crust and then get the top crust out of the freezer.
10. Gently peel the foil or paper away from the frozen cookie crust and then place it over the top of the fig filling.
Pat any stray crust pieces into place.
11. Bake for another 20-25 minutes. Watch it closely! The top will turn a nice golden color.
12. Let the whole thing cool completely in the pan, on a wire rack if you have one. Once cooled, lift the parchment (or foil) out of the pan and slice into squares.
Notes
The fig filling can be made ahead stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
