Steps:
- Squeeze enough juice from 1/2 orange to measure 2 tablespoons. Cut peel, including all white pith, from remaining 4 oranges with a sharp knife and discard, then cut oranges crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
- Cook sugar in a dry small heavy saucepan over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, until sugar is melted into a deep golden caramel. Add juice and wine carefully (caramel will harden and steam vigorously). Cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until caramel is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove sauce from heat.
- Arrange orange slices, overlapping, in 4 shallow bowls and spoon sauce over fruit. Let macerate at least 30 minutes before serving.

ROAST PORK WITH FIGS ONIONS AND MARSALA
A rather sweet pork roast. I like this a lot because not only is it delish, but it freezes quite well sliced in the juices. Another Boil-in-bag thing.

Steps:
- Soak the Figs in the Marsala at least an hour.
- Put the Boiler Onions in warm water 20 min, skin cut off the root and stem,cut a X in the bottom.
- Mix 1 TBS Oil, Salt, Pepper,& Allspice then rub the Pork let it stand half an hour.
- Sear the rubbed pork in the rest of the oil.
- Put everything but the butter in a coverable roasting pan.
- Roast covered at 325F for an hour.
- Uncover, drop the oven to 275F and continue roasting to an internal temp of 145F.
- If you want a higher temp for safety do so but I feel 145F plus the 5+ rise after removal is sufficient.
- Remove the meat to a plate.
- Remove the most solid of the Figs and onions.
- Put the liquid in a pot and degrease, I use paper towels.
- Chech the seasoning.
- Whisk in the butter to the hot liquid, I use my hand blender.
- Slice and enjoy, figs and onions on the side.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, fresh figs. Look for figs that are plump and have a slight give when you press them. Avoid figs that are bruised or have any signs of mold.
- Use a good quality Marsala wine. A dry or semi-dry Marsala will work best in this recipe. Avoid using a sweet Marsala, as it will make the dish too sweet.
- Don't overcook the figs. Figs are delicate and can easily become mushy if they are overcooked. Cook them just until they are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Serve the figs warm or at room temperature. Figs can be served as a dessert or a side dish. If you are serving them as a dessert, you can top them with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
Conclusion:
Figs with Marsala and Orange is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet figs, rich Marsala wine, and tangy orange juice creates a flavor that is both unique and satisfying. This dish is sure to impress your guests, whether you are serving it as a dessert or a side dish.
