1 750ml bottle young, fruity red wine (Beaujolais or Zinfandel)
1 pound fresh figs
6 pears
juice of one lemon
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons orange rind, diced
1 bay leaf
1 cinnamon stick
5 whole cloves
1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted, skinned, and roughly chopped

1
Combine all the ingredients except for the hazelnuts in a large bowl. Refrigerate and let macerate for an hour.
2
Pour the contents of the bowl into a large, non-reactive pan and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally until very thick and reduced, about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
3
Discard the bay leaf and cinnamon stick. Stir in the hazelnuts and simmer for 5 minutes longer.
4
Process the conserve immediately using your method of choice. If you're a canning novice, The National Center for Home Food Preservation is a great resource. Or skip the canning step and refrigerate your Cogna for up to three months.
