This recipe is from a cookbook my mother put together for our church when I was 9 or 10. These recipes are from all the old grannies that my mother grew up with, so you know they're good! I don't have any fig recipes, and this sounds de-lish. I'm going to have to try it! I thought maybe some of you would like to as well. Enjoy! **This recipe is from Ruth Evans, who has gone to be with Jesus, and was one of my grandmother's closest friends.**

How To Make fig yums

  • 1
    Combine and blend first four ingredients thoroughly with your hands and press 1/2 of the mixture in the bottom of a well-greased 9x13 pan. Put figs into a food processor or blender until nearly smooth. Put figs into a saucepan with the sugar and lemon juice and cook slowly until thickened, stirring frequently. Spread over crust. Add nuts and coconut to remaining oat mixture and sprinkle over filling. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 min., or until golden brown. Cut in squares and serve warm or cold, with or without whipped cream.
