Drain the water, rinse in clear water and drain again.
Put the figs and sugar in a large pot over medium-low heat.
Stir gently as they begin to cook.
Raise the heat to medium when syrup forms and let it come to a gentle boil.
Simmer, uncovered, for about 3 hours or until a foam appears around the edges of the pot.
Stir occasionally.
Spoon the hot mixture into 5 hot sterilized pint-sized preserving jars, filling to within 1/2-inch of the top. With a clean damp towel, wipe the rim and fit with a hot lid. Tightly screw on a metal ring.
Process in a hot-water bath for 15 minutes.
Using tongs, remove the jars.
Place on a towel and let cool.
Test the seals.
Tighten the rings.
