Rudiman - I found this for you on the internet:

To dry figs, sort, wash and remove stems. Half or slice figs into uniform pieces. They may be pretreated if they are to be sundried, by sulfuring them for 1 hour to discourage insects. Place figs skin side down on trays in the sun. Cover with clear protective sheeting. Bring fruit inside at night. Drying time is 1-3 days depending on size of fruit pieces and weather. Figs are dry when they feel leathery and show no pockets of moisture. Store in airtight containers. They may also be dried in the oven at a very low temperature , with the door open, or in an electric dehydrator.
