I make fig preserves every year and have never used dried figs. fresh is always better. My grandma taught me how to make this when I was around 10 years old.

fig preserves are preserved fresh and whole in a heavy syrup

Where are the herbs? How are these processed? If they aren't "preserved" by canning what will keep them from going bad before the "gift" is opened??
