Visual Recipe By: kiteless


Ingredients:

I made this first at Christmas to go with a pork loin and it’s really delicious. It has a great deep, fig flavor that’s not too sweet. Make sure to use a dry red wine. If you use a sweeter-tasting red, then decrease the amount of sugar by a few TB. This is good served with pork, cheese and bread, and I bet it would be good over ice cream or pound cake.

Ingredients:
24 black mission figs, diced into eights
2 cups dry red wine
2 cups water
juice of 1/2 a lemon
3/4 cup sugar
