Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 fresh figs (green or black), peeled
1 1/3 cups Friulian merlot
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons fresh raspberries, if desired, washe

Steps:

  • Place figs in saucepan wide enough so each has room to cook without touching. Add wine, sugar and raspberries if using. Cook, covered, over medium heat for 5 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove figs and place three on each of 4 dessert plates. Cut them in half vertically, and let cool.
  • Continue heating sauce until it boils and begins to thicken. When it forms a light syrup, pour over figs and serve.
