Red Wine Candied Figs

Many of us are probably most acquainted with figs through fig newtons, those odd little soft cookies we had as kids. But as I got older I started to really enjoy them in many more ways like on pizza, with cheese or prosciutto, and in salads. But if you happen upon some really good and fresh ones I like to let them stand alone more. Pictured above is simply halved figs drizzled with red wine and sugar. Just pop them in the oven on about 375F for around 12 minutes to caramelize the sugar and reduce the wine. You will feel like you have been transported to the French countryside with this little treat.
