- ¼ cup red wine
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla paste

Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add cut figs to a small cast iron pan or oven safe dish and set aside.
- Whisk together the red wine, brown sugar, honey, vanilla, orange zest and rosemary and pour over figs.
- Roast figs for 20 minutes until they soften and the red wine reduces slightly.
- Once done, let cool slightly and serve over ice cream, yogurt or cheese.
Notes
- Choosing figs: Look for fruit that feels heavy for its size, with smooth skin and just a little give when gently squeezed. Avoid figs that are overly mushy or split.
- Herbs: Swap rosemary for thyme or tarragon.
- Extra flavor: Add a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom for warm spice.
- Wine options: Try white wine for a lighter flavor profile.
- Alcohol-free option: Use balsamic vinegar plus extra citrus juice instead of red wine.
