This recipe was a complete disaster. The figs were mushy and the sauce was too sweet.

I didn't care for the flavor of the red wine in the sauce.

I found this recipe to be a bit too sweet. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

These figs were amazing! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly. The sauce was thick and syrupy, and the figs were so soft and tender. I will definitely be making these again.

These red wine poached figs were a delightful treat! The figs were plump and juicy, and the poaching liquid infused them with a rich, flavorful sauce. The vanilla ice cream was the perfect complement, adding a creamy sweetness to balance out the tart
