Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Combine the wine, water, honey and seasonings in a pan. Bring to a boil, and continue boiling until reduced by about one half. Taste, and adjust seasoning or sweetness as needed. Add the figs and simmer about 20 minutes. Cover and let sit until dessert time. If that’s going to be longer than about 4 hours, put in the refrigerator.
  2. Before serving, remove the figs from the syrup. When I was first shown this dish, I was taught to strain the syrup at this point, but I really prefer it unstrained. Boil the syrup until it’s reduced by about a half again. Return the figs to the syrup. Complete this step just before serving dinner so that the syrup will have cooled to about room temperature by dessert time.
  3. Serve either in pretty little dessert bowls or plates, 2 figs per serving. Place a dollop of mascarpone, crème fraiche, or unsweetened whipped cream beside the figs, and drizzle with syrup.
