Ingredients
- 3 cups tawny port
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
- 1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick
- 1 (3-inch) strips orange peel
- 8 whole black peppercorns
- 12 black mission figs, ripe yet firm
Directions
Combine the port sugar, vanilla pods and seeds, cinnamon, orange peel and peppercorns in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat. Simmer until the liquid has the consistency of a light syrup, about 20 minutes. You will have about 1 1/2 cups of syrup. Add the figs and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and cool the figs in the syrup. Serve the figs in a bowl with their juices spooned over.
