I had trouble finding figs that were ripe enough. I would recommend using ripe figs if you can find them.

The figs were a bit dry. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time.

I found that the figs were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less brown sugar next time.
