Bacon Wrapped Figs with Port Reduction

My friend Annette was here recently, and she presented me with a jar of "Hurricane Gustav Figs"- figs that had come from a second bearing, after the tree had become confused by its stripping by Hurricane Gustav.



They're lovely, tasty little figs, and I thought they'd benefit from a little bacon and a little port!

Ingredients:

Figs of your choice
Bacon slices equal to the number of figs you have on hand

Holly Balansag, vinter at Sandhill Crane Vineyards, in Jackson, MI, produces a fantastic port that will blow your socks right off! I like to use for...well, everything.




Port Reduction:

1 cup port
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. ground cloves

You'll also want a glass baking dish, and an oven pre-heated to 450F.
