Instructions
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a saucepan, combine dried figs, port wine, dry red wine, brown sugar, sliced orange, cloves, star anise, and cinnamon stick. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Allow it to boil for a few minutes to eliminate the alcohol aroma. |
| 2 | Once boiling, cover the saucepan and reduce the heat to simmer. Let the mixture cook for 40 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and becomes syrupy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. |
| 3 | After 40 minutes, remove the saucepan from heat and allow the poached figs to cool slightly. |
| 4 | Carefully remove the cloves, cinnamon stick, and star anise from the saucepan. |
| 5 | To serve, spoon the poached figs into 8 dessert glasses, ensuring each serving is generously coated with the syrupy sauce. |
| 6 | Top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of sliced almonds for added flavor and texture. |
| 7 | Serve the poached figs immediately and enjoy the heavenly combination of flavors. |
