Ingredients

• 500 grams Fresh figs
• 240 ml Water
• 150 grams Sugar
• 120 ml Ruby port
• 15 ml Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Wash the fresh figs thoroughly and remove their stems. Cut the figs into quarters for easier blending.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar fully dissolves. This will take about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.

Step 3

In a blender or food processor, combine the quartered figs, cooled sugar syrup, ruby port, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.

Step 4

Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing down with a spatula to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard any seeds or solids left in the sieve.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled.

Step 6

Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically 20-25 minutes, until the mixture reaches a smooth and sorbet-like consistency.

Step 7

Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to firm up before serving.

Step 8

Serve scooped into bowls for a refreshing treat. Optionally, garnish with fresh fig slices or a small drizzle of port for presentation.
