    omg We all thought this was a 6! I made 6 servings of 4 oz pork chop each and came up with 274.8 calories per servings. We almost didn't make this because of the figs, bug you can barely taste them and its so delicious! We're going to make it with lamb chops next week. - 4/13/09

    I LOVED these! I'd make them again in a heartbeat. They are a very nice change from stand-alone grilled pork chops! - 2/5/08

    My neighbor gave me some fresh figs from his tree last weekend. I found this recipe and tried it. I also added some fresh apricots from the farmers market. Fabulous! Will try on chicken, too. - 7/29/08

    I loved this recipe. SparkPeople has 2 versions of this recipe. I have made both, and this is the better one. - 4/19/07

    I think I might be tempted to use 1/2 and 1/2 balsamic and red wine vinegar; balsamic goes so-o-o well with figs!! - 4/11/11

    I didn't make this yet but love figs so will make it as soon as I get dried figs. - 7/19/08

    I didn't have the wine or red wine vinegar so I used apple cider vinegar and added some mushrooms it was very good. Will make again. - 2/22/08

    I'm printing this out now - sounds mmmmmy!
    But I think I'll maybe reduce the sugar to 1 tsp rather than 1 tbsp! - 5/14/11

    Sounds good, but I'll substitue something like stevia for the sugar. - 4/10/11
