I was wondering if any of you have ever tried to make one or even sampled one. I know that many fig jams are made with cognac, but the idea of port appeals to me. Any thoughts?

Just noticed your post got moved to the HC board while I was answering the same.

I keep figs and a vanilla bean soaked in port in my cupboard and decided to try it as a jam. It turned out great! Fri Sep 25 06:02:34 -0700 2009 5055610 160677 morwen
