Indulgent red wine glazed figs served with cheese and wafers - a stylish celebration dish.
Ingredients:
  • 1 375g pkt (about 30) whole dried figs (Lion of Sahara brand)
  • 25g (5 tsp) butter
  • 1 6cm cinnamon stick
  • 5 whole black peppercorns
  • 2 dried bay leaves
  • 750ml (3 cups) pinot noir
  • 200g (1 cup firmly packed) brown sugar
  • 185g blue vein cheese (like King Island Dairy Roaring Forties brand), at room temperature, to serve
  • 2 150g pkts poppy seed wafer thin crispbread (Falwasser brand), to serve
Instructions:
  • In a medium bowl, place the figs and cover them with boiling water. Let them soak for 8 hours or overnight to soften. Drain before using.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until fragrant by adding the cinnamon stick, peppercorns, and bay leaves. Stir for 30 seconds.
  • Combine red wine, brown sugar, and drained figs in a pot. Cook and stir for 2 minutes until sugar dissolves. Increase the heat until it boils, then reduce to low heat and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally for 1 hour until it thickens to a syrup. Remove from heat and cool for 1 hour.
  • Arrange the figs alongside the cheese and wafers at room temperature before serving.
