Steps:
- Trim the heads of endive, and quarter them lengthwise.
- Cut the sliced prosciutto in half on an angle across the center.
- Over medium-high temperature, heat a grill pan or large skillet.
- Season the prepared endive with salt and freshly ground pepper (I like tricolor peppercorns).
- Wrap each endive with a piece of sliced prosciutto, then brush each with the extra-virgin olive oil.
- Saute each on the grill pan or large skillet for 7 to 8 minutes, turning every couple of minutes, until the prosciutto is nicely crispy and the endive pieces are tender.
- While the vegetables and ham are cooking, begin the reduction sauce: place the chopped figs and vinegar into a saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium and simmer sauce for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the figs are soft and the vinegar is nicely thick and syrupy.
- When endives are done, place attractively on a serving dish and drizzle the fig and balsamic reduction over them.
- Serve and enjoy!
PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED FIGS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- Cut a small hole in the center of the flesh of each fig. Fill each hole with 1/4 teaspoon of goat cheese.
- Take a prosciutto slice and tear in half. Use 1 half to diagonally wrap around the fig, starting from the top. Tuck underneath at the ends. Repeat until all figs are wrapped. (Secure with toothpicks if necessary.) Place wrapped figs on prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced.
- In a small bowl, combine honey and pumpkin pie spice. Drizzle honey evenly over each fig.
- Place in the oven on the top rack and roast for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and serve immediately.

Steps:

- Place figs and vinegar in a pot and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Reduce the vinegar down to a few tablespoons, until the fig pieces are soft and vinegar is thick, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Arrange the lettuce on individual plates or a serving dish and spoon the fig and balsamic reduction over the lettuce, drizzling back and forth over the plate.

Steps:
- Bring one cup of balsamic vinegar to a boil then turn down heat to simmer for 10 minutes. Balsamic vinegar should reduce to approx 1/4 cup drizzle over bruschetta if desired.
- .* I don't add the 1 tbsp sugar when reducing as I don't like mine to sweet but feel free to use it if you prefer.
ROSEMARY BALSAMIC REDUCTION
This sauce is recommended over beef tenderloin, but would also be great over lamb, pork or even grilled veggies!!! This sauce can be prepared ahead of time and simply warmed up in the microwave when it's time to serve. Fast and easy. Recipe from Dierberg's Everybody Cooks Sept 2002 edition.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, heat oil.
- Add shallots and cook 1-2 min until soft.
- Stir in vinegar and rosemary and cook 10 minutes or until reduced to approx 1/2 cup.
Tips:
- To make the perfect balsamic fig reduction, use ripe, fresh figs. If you can't find fresh figs, you can use dried figs, but be sure to soak them in warm water for 30 minutes before using.
- When wrapping the endive with prosciutto, be sure to overlap the slices slightly so that the endive is completely covered. This will help to keep the endive from falling apart when it is cooked.
- If you are using a gas grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If you are using a charcoal grill, heat the coals until they are medium-hot.
- Cook the endive until the prosciutto is crispy and the endive is tender, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve the endive immediately, drizzled with the balsamic fig reduction.

Prosciutto-Wrapped Endive with Balsamic Fig Reduction is a delicious and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any occasion.
