Cut each fig into six pieces. Add port, red wine, vinegar and lemon juice, soak for one to two hours.
Add the remaining ingredients and bring to the boil in a large saucepan. Cook until the figs are tender. Always stir well, as it is very viscous and there is a high risk of scalding.
Pour very hot into twist-off glasses and allow to cool.
Tastes good with cheese, but also with roast beef, roast beef, etc.
