I hate when recipes require all these extra things you don't really need and you have to go crazy getting all this stuff. Also, I know you don't really need pectin. I have a recipe that does not require it that I got online, but I thought maybe a few more I could try.

I have a couple of pints of preserved figs and I'm looking for some simple recipes where I can use them. I've looked online for fig bars and such and most of the recipes call for dried or fresh figs. I also have a bunch of pecans I would like to use, so any recipes that incorporate both of these ingredients would be great.

My Nana used to make a cake called a Poor Man's Cake. It was an old Tangier Island family recipe. It had fig preserves and watermelon rind preserves in it. It was kind of heavy, like a fruit cake, but tasted nothing like a fruit cake. I have the recipe she wrote down, but there is something missing because mine turns out hard as a doorstop. She passed away, so the recipe may have gone to the grave with her. Anybody ever heard of this cake or have a recipe?
