First thing, any fig that you buy isn't a good example of this wonderful fruit.
It only get sweet on the tree, but when it's ripe it can't keep for more than a day.
I used to work in one country restaurant where a fig tree was growin into the kitchen! Great?! Maybe, the problem are the wasps, they lay their eggs in the male fruits.
Back to question, what I do with semi-sweet figs is to semi-dry them. Put in a low heat oven and dry for an hour. It intensify the flavor and makes them last longer.
