Delicious with warm Brie. Great as a sauce for ham or roast turkey. I'm thinking it may even be good with a Monte Cristo sandwich. Hmmm...what about using dates instead of figs? You could probably decrease the sugar by half. This is my own photo of the sauce.

I'm not a big fan of cranberries, but I loved this sauce. The figs really balance out the tartness of the cranberries.
