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.

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!
