• 1 punnet of mixed baby cherry tomatoes chopped in half
• 4 ripe figs
• Four slices of fresh mozzarella per person
• 1 head of purple lettuce

Dressing for the tomatoes

• 1/2 bunch torn basil
• 1 tsp finely chopped garlic
• olive oil
• salt and pepper for seasoning
• 2 tbs of orange infused balsamic vinegar
• 2 tbs of honey

Warm Port and Cranberry Dressing

• 1 glass port
• 2 heaped tbs of cranberry jelly
• 1 tbs of Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp butter

Quarter the figs, but NOT all the way through. Pinch gently at the base, pushing the four petals apart.

Now combine all the dressing ingredients for the tomatoes. Toss the tomatoes in the dressing, coating evenly

Place all the ingredients for the Warm Port and Cranberry Dressing into a small saucepan and heat to a rolling boil. Let this reduce down to a thick syrup.

Place all ingredients as shown in the photos and, just before serving, pour the warm dressing over the figs, letting it trickle through.

My family devoured this, and I am sure it will be a big hit with you at home too!
