Fig Spread:
-Cut 4 figs in half and place on a skillet at medium low heat
-Heat and stir figs until soft
-Add desert wine
-Add sugar (feel free to add as much or as little sugar as you wish)
-Add the juice of 1/4-1/2 of a small orange and the zest of 1/2 of the orange
-Finally, add 2 more figs (halved) and place them into the spread to provide texture . Heat for
about another minute or so until they just begin to soften.

Serve with a fresh assortment of cheeses. I chose a Roquefort and Camembert cheese. I baked a slice of Camembert cheese with some of the spread on top of it for a few minutes to add variety to my plate.

Serve with warm slices of French baguette.
