Ingredients

Figs:

2 cups dry red wine

1/4 cup honey

1 cinnamon stick

8 fresh (about 1/2 pound) or 12 dried figs, halved lengthwise

Goat cheese:

1 cup walnuts, finely chopped

Directions

Figs: In a nonreactive medium pot combine the wine, honey, and cinnamon. Bring to a simmer, over low heat, and cook until slightly thickened, about 30 minutes. Add the figs and cook for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly. Remove the cinnamon stick.
Goat cheese: In a shallow bowl, mix together the walnuts and thyme. With damp hands, roll the goat cheese into 1-inch balls. Roll the balls into the nut mixture until coated.
