Canned Figs (commercial not home-made)

[VivreManger]

Has anyone seen canned figs on the grocery shelves in the last few years? They seem to have disappeared.

I tried googling the product to see if anyone on-line is selling them, but nothing useful appeared.

I am on the look-out for them in the Middle Eastern and Asian food markets I regularly visit in Massachusetts, but I have had no luck.

Thanks, but fig preserves are not what I am looking for. My search is for whole figs canned in light syrup. The preserves undoubtedly will have more sugar than I need.

That's simply a matter of athetics down here, some cooks like them a bit smashed, and some are careful to keep them whole. I have both in my pantry.The sugar content is the same. However, I think your thinking of a particular type...mideastern grocery store? I don't know how they differ, it must be how they're canned as well as varitety.

After being directed to Amazon I established that two companies still offer canned Kadota Figs, Oregon and Roland. At the moment the only retail outets I have found overcharge for shipping and handling so I will ignore them. But with a brand name I should be able to track down a local market that will have them. In NYC Gristede's carries them, but no trips planned in the near future.

Probably doesn't help you, but in the Boston area, I generally have to go to a Brazilian or Spanish grocery. I can't seem to find them on the shelves in my larger supermarkets.

Actually I will be in Boston regularly starting next week so any specific suggestions would be helpful. I know a Brazilian market in Union Square, Somerville, but last time I checked I do not think they had them. Any other names and places?
