How to Make Baked Figs In Port

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Gently prick each fig with a fork in several places.
  3. Arrange figs in a single layer, standing on end, in a shallow baking dish (approximately 8x8 inch).
  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.
  9. Drizzle each serving with 1/2 teaspoon of honey (or more, to taste).
  10. Garnish with fresh raspberries and serve with whipped cream (optional).

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.
