Figs Poached in Wine

1. 1

   Gently wash the figs.

2. 2

   Put the wine and sugar in a saucepan or skillet with a lid; the pan should be broad enough to hold the figs in one layer.

3. 3

   Bring to a boil, then adjust the heat so the mixture simmers.

4. 4

   Add the figs, cover, and cook gently for about 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Transfer the figs to a shallow bowl.

6. 6

   Reduce the cooking liquid over high heat until syrupy, about 10 minutes.

7. 7

   Stir in the orange zest and pour over the figs.

8. 8

   Chill, then serve, spooning some of the sauce over the figs as you do so.
