  4. Pour 1/2 cup of ruby port wine over the figs.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, basting with the port wine every 10 minutes, until figs are plump, tender, and slightly caramelized.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  7. To serve, arrange 3 figs per serving on a small plate.
  8. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the port wine reduction over the figs.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
