Name: Cabernet-Cranberry Sauce with Figs
Prep time: 30 min
Total time: 30 min
Ingredients: 1 cup Cabernet Sauvignon; 6 ounces dried calimyrna figs, stems trimmed and figs coarsely chopped (1 cup); 1 (12-ounce) bag fresh or frozen cranberries; 3/4 cup sugar; 3 (3- by 1/2-inch) strips orange zest

Who knew Cabernet and cranberries would make such a dynamic duo? Add dried figs (plumped in the Cabernet ahead of time), and you end up with a winey, fruity fig bar, minus the cookie. This sauce is so fine, you'll be spooning leftovers on ice cream or slathering it on toast in place of jam. It's worth buying extra cranberries and freezing them so you can make more to last you through the winter. Editor's Note: This recipe is part of our Gourmet Modern Menu for Thanksgiving for 2 or 20.
