I was afraid of using balsamic vinegar based on previous reviews, so I substituted Port Wine....YUMMY!

After reading the reviews, I tried the fig sauce with brie and baguettes and it was absolutely yummy. We have a huge fig tree in our yard and I have been on the look out for new fig recipes. The fig sauce was delicious and I cannot wait to try it out on the vanilla ice cream.
