Clearing out the back of a cupboard I found a packet of dried figs. I think these were part of a Mother's Day present given to me by my daughter this year.
The figs were washed in clear cool water and put into a pan with enough fresh water to cover them, a glassful of red wine, the zest and juice of a lemon and a piece of cinnamon stick. They were brought gently to a simmer and kept there for 15 minutes, then the figs and their juice were removed to a serving dish and chilled.
The scent of lemon and cinnamon gave a cosy, out of season, flavour to the kitchen. Comforting on this grey and rainy day.

Hi, I just discovered your lovely blog a couple of days ago, and have added it to my favourites. I haven't been cooking much the last couple of weeks, but when I get back into the swing of it, I'll certainly be trying out some of your recipes.
