How to Make Baked Figs In Brandy And Wine Syrup

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
  2. Gently wash and dry 500g fresh figs. Halve or quarter larger figs if necessary.
  3. In a medium-sized casserole dish, combine the figs, 100ml brandy, 100ml red wine (such as Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon), 50g brown sugar, 25g butter, 1 cinnamon stick, and 2 star anise.
  4. Cover the casserole dish tightly with foil, piercing a few holes to allow steam to escape.
  5. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the figs are tender and the syrup has thickened slightly.
  6. Remove the casserole from the oven and let the figs cool in the syrup for at least 15 minutes. This allows them to absorb the flavors.
  7. Remove the figs from the casserole dish. Carefully pour the syrup into a small saucepan.
  8. Simmer the syrup over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, or until it has reduced by about half and thickened to your desired consistency.
  9. Serve the warm baked figs drizzled generously with the reduced syrup. Top with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
