Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 medium sweet onion, chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cups (about 1 500-ml. bottle) ruby - or vintage-style port
about 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup (about 7 oz.) dried black mission figs, stems removed, coarsely chopped
2 whole star anise
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
kosher salt and pepper

Directions:

Sauté onion in oil in a large frying pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add port, 2 cups chicken broth, the figs, and star anise. Boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by about a third, about 15 minutes. Remove and discard star anise.
Purée mixture in a blender until smooth. Pour into a saucepan over low heat. Whisk in butter, vinegar, salt to taste, and a generous amount of pepper. If sauce is too thick, thin with a little more chicken broth. Serve hot.
