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.
