I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The figs are so tender and flavorful. I love serving them with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. There are a lot of steps and it took me a long time to make. The figs were good, but I don't think they were worth the effort.

These figs were a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would have preferred a sweeter vinegar.
