Quick Overview

Our dry figs simmered in Mavrodaphne syrup with black peppercorns are a variation on an ancient Greek recipe. This was a much-appreciated taste at the symposia where Socrates, Plato, Pericles, Aristophanes, Aristotle, Alexander, and so many others were enjoying themselves.
Ingredients: Dried figs, mavrodaphne, sugar, black pepper.
Serving suggestion: these figs will provide the perfect companion to mature cheese, salty meat and fish, and just about any strong taste and flavor.
