Patricia, this was another one of those "simple" dishes my grandmother and aunts thought of as so common (but we know better) I wait all year for fig season- lovely!

Artists have painted the fig leaf to depicted modesty. But the fruit is sweet and alluring.
This recipe is so easy anyone could make it and with a little cinnamon ice cream it is dream of a dessert. Reduce the sugar and use them with meats.
Ингредиенты
- 8-10 ripe fresh figs
- 1 bottle red wine
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- Skin of a lemon
- Skin of an orange (optional)
- 1 Star Anise
Инструкции
- POACHING
- Put them in a saucepan, pour the wine and add the cinnamon stick, skin of the lemon, star anise and add the sugar. Cover the pan and cook at medium high temperature for 10-15 minutes. Turn the figs around so that all sides are stained red. Cook for an additional 10 minutes. Test the figs with a skewer. If it goes through easily they are done. Remove the cinnamon stick, star anise and lemon.
- SAUCE
- Remove them from the pan and add the butter and reduce the wine down to about 1/2 cup. The figs should not be too sweet and usually donât need extra sugar. The butter will make the sauce glisten and will give the sauce a warm buttery taste.
- They can be served hot or at room temperature. When you are ready to serve, place 2-3 figs in a glass or decorative dish and dribble the wine sauce over them. Or scoop some cinnamon or vanilla ice cream in a bowl and add the figs with dribbles of the wine sauce.
