Figs grow plentifully throughout Greece. This recipe is one of the common ways to prepare them.

Greek Style Aromatic Figs (Sika Xsera) Recipe Ingredients:

3 cups sweet red wine, such as Mavrodaphne
1/2 cup sugar
18 fresh figs
6 bay leaves
1 cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon fresh, chopped orange zest

How to Make Aromatic Figs:

Place the wine and sugar into a saucepan and whisk together. Add the figs, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, and orange zest to the pan and let soak overnight.
