Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 fresh figs (green or black), peeled
1 1/3 cups Friulian merlot
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons fresh raspberries, if desired, washe

Steps:

  • Place figs in saucepan wide enough so each has room to cook without touching. Add wine, sugar and raspberries if using. Cook, covered, over medium heat for 5 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove figs and place three on each of 4 dessert plates. Cut them in half vertically, and let cool.
  • Continue heating sauce until it boils and begins to thicken. When it forms a light syrup, pour over figs and serve.

The recipe was missing some important details. For example, it didn't say what kind of Merlot to use.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my figs turned out mushy. I think I cooked them for too long.

The figs were a bit too firm for my liking. I think I would cook them for a few minutes longer next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the figs turned out too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This dish is a great way to showcase fresh figs. The Merlot adds a nice depth of flavor without overpowering the natural sweetness of the fruit.
