I'm canning tomorrow. My first try.
It seems to be a forgiving process. Lots of variation on sugar:water ratios work. I cooked mine about an hour and they were perfect. 1/4" headspace and 10-15 minute processing (recipes seem to all be in this range)
I saw a few recipes calling for 2+ hours of cooking the whole figs. I doubt they would hold up to that. I was probably a little long at the 45-60 minute mark.
Best of luck! We started with about 7 lbs and then sorted out the really busted or overripe to make jam with. I ended up with 20 pints and 1 quart.

I cook mine down for about 6 hours. They hold up just fine.
