- Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
# Cinnamon, ground, 1 tsp (remove)# Cloves, ground, 1 tsp (remove)# Nutmeg, ground, 1 tsp (remove)# Pepper, black, 1 tsp (remove)# Salt, 1 dash (remove)# Grape Juice, 1 cup (remove)# Splenda, 18 tsp (remove)# Vanilla Bean, 1 serving (remove)# Almonds, 0.5 cup, ground (remove)# Figs, fresh, 150 grams (remove)# Dates, 12 date (remove)# Almond Butter, 2 tbsp (remove)
1. Trim stems off figs. Cut figs into 1/8-in.-thick slices and put in a large bowl. Bring 6 cups of water to a boil and pour over figs. Let sit 10 minutes. Drain and put figs in a large pot over medium-high heat with wine, 1 cup sugar, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Bring to a boil. Meanwhile, tie up peppercorns, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves in a 6- by 6-in. piece of cheesecloth and add to pot. Lower heat to maintain a simmer and cook until figs are soft and liquid is reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 2 hours. Remove spices and discard. Stir in vanilla. Let figs and liquid cool to room temperature.
2. Process 1/2 cup whole almonds and 2 tablespoons sugar in a food processor until ground. Spoon into a bowl. Set aside.
Bake for about 10 minutes until the crust is beginning to brown. After 8 minutes, check every minute or so, because once it starts to brown it goes quickly. Let cool.
3. Arrange cooled figs and dates in cooled crust and pour fig-cooking liquid over them. Let sit at least 1 hour (at room temperature) and up to overnight (in refrigerator). Serve at room temperature, with low fat cream.
