💡 You can substitute fresh figs for dried ones. For 2 cups dried figs, use 3 cups chopped fresh figs and omit the hot water and orange juice.Add a teaspoon of lemon or orange zest for extra flavor if using fresh figs.Make sure to cool the bars completely before cutting to preserve their shape.Store in an airtight container for up to a week for best freshness.
