Wash and dry the figs without peeling them.
Put the figs in a pan large enough to arrange them not to tight to each other. Add the sugar, vinegar,water,vanilla and rum and Lemmon zest.
Cook them on a low heat, do not stir, let everything melt and from time to time drizzle the figs with their sauce. When you obtained a nice syrup and your figs are soft but still firm, turn off the heat and pour the still hot figs in previously sterilized jars, close them and turn them upside down till the are completely cold.
