Combine thinly shaved equal quantities of candied orange peel, candied lemon peel, candied cherries and coconut, allowing a teaspoon of shavings to each fig. Cover with orange juice, cover the dish, and let stand 3 to 4 hours. Slit stewed, chilled California dried figs, insert drained

stuffing. Allow 4 or 5 figs for each serving. Serve with a little of the syrup from stewing, and cream, as a dessert. Source: 48 Family Favorites with California Figs Reprinted with the permission of The California Fig Advisory Board Electronic format courtesy of Karen Mintzias -----
