Figs and cheese are such a beautiful combination. Seize the (short!) fig season and enjoy them as often as you can!

Juice of 1 orange
1 cup (250ml) dry white wine
2/3 cup (150g) caster sugar
1 small cinnamon quill
1 vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped
1/4 cup dried blueberries or craisins
6 fresh figs, halved
Goat's cheese and toasted walnut sourdough slices, to serve

Method

1.

Stir juice, wine, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla pod and seeds, berries and 1 1/2 cups (375ml) water in a large heavy-based pan over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes to reduce by a third.
2.

Add the figs, then simmer over medium-low heat for 2 minutes or until the figs are slightly soft. Place in a heatproof bowl and allow to cool. Serve cold or at room temperature with chevre and sourdough.
