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

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
