For a richer flavor, try using brown sugar instead of white sugar. A splash of port wine at the end of cooking adds complexity. This spread can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you don't have Black Mission figs, other varieties like Brown Turkey or Kadota will also work well. Consider adding a sprig of fresh thyme or rosemary during the cooking process for an herbaceous note. Remove before serving.
