Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (3- by 1/2-inch strips) fresh lemon zest
1 (1 1/2-inch) cinnamon stick
6 black peppercorns
1 1/2 cups dry red wine
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup dried figs (1/2 lb; preferably Calimyrna), trimmed and each fig cut lengthwise into 3 slices
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Special Equipment
kitchen string; a 4-inch square of cheesecloth

Steps:

  • Tie zest, cinnamon, and peppercorns together in a cheesecloth bag. Bring wine, water, sugar, and cheesecloth bag to a boil in a 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Boil syrup until reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, 8 to 10 minutes. Add figs and simmer, covered, until soft and plump, 25 to 30 minutes. Discard cheesecloth bag and stir lemon juice into fig mixture. Cool at least 1 hour, then serve warm or at room temperature.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar.

This is a great recipe for using up leftover figs. I had a few figs that were starting to go bad, and this recipe was the perfect way to use them up.

I've tried several recipes for figs in red wine syrup, but this one is by far the best. The syrup is perfectly balanced, and the figs are cooked to perfection.

This recipe is a keeper! The figs were plump and juicy, and the red wine syrup was rich and flavorful. I served it over ice cream, and it was the perfect dessert.
