Ingredients:

- 2 pounds of fresh figs, washed and stemmed
- 1 cup of port wine
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, combine the figs, port wine, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the figs are soft and the liquid has thickened.
3. While the mixture is simmering, prepare your canning jars and lids by sterilizing them in boiling water.
4. Once the fig and port wine mixture is ready, carefully ladle it into the sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top.
5. Wipe the rims of the jars clean with a damp cloth, then place the lids on top and screw on the bands.
6. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes, then remove them from the water and let them cool on a wire rack.
7. Once the jars have cooled, check the seals to make sure they are tight. Store the jars in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
