Preparation

How to prepare Figs in Red Wine, Honey, and Cinnamon Sauce

To prepare the figs in red wine sauce, start by cleaning the fruit; use a damp cloth to wipe the surface 1, remove the stem from each fig 2, and make a cross cut 3. Gently run the blade, so do not cut into four but score the surface.

In a pan, pour the red wine and port 4, then add the honey 5, the cinnamon stick, and the cloves 6.

Finally, add the brown sugar 7 and mix everything 8. Let it cook on high flame so that the mixture reaches a boil 9.

As soon as it is boiling, lower the flame and immerse the figs 10, let them cook for 5 minutes on low heat, and when they are ready, gently pick them up to avoid breaking them 11 and place them on a plate 12.

When the figs are fully cooled, cut the wedges into 4 parts 13. Meanwhile, continue cooking the wine mixture for another 20 minutes 14, you should obtain a syrupy reduction from which you will then remove the cinnamon stick 15.

Strain the syrup by pouring it into a container where you have placed a strainer 16. Place the figs in the cups in which you will serve them and cover them with the wine sauce, cover with plastic wrap and leave in the refrigerator for a couple of hours 17. After the cooling time, your figs in red wine sauce are ready, just remove the plastic wrap and serve them 18!
