- We start by preparing the syrup (shira) first

- Add the figs at this stage and wait a little until they soften, then add the nuts, starting with the almonds and pine nuts.... After several minutes, add the walnuts as well and finally add the toasted sesame seeds...
- Stir from time to time so the jam does not stick to the bottom of the pot.
