Cranberry Sauce with Port and Dried Figs

This is Ki's recipe...so delicious.

1 2/3 c. ruby Port
1/4 c. balsamic vinegar
1/4 c. packed brown sugar
8 dried black Mission figs, stemmed chopped
1 6-inch long sprig of fresh rosemary
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
******
1 12-oz. bag fresh cranberries
3/4 c. sugar

Combine first 6 ingredients in medium saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to low and simmer 10 minutes. Discard rosemary. Mix in cranberries and 3/4 granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat until liquid is slightly reduced and berries burst, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes. Cool. Transfer sauce to bowl; chill until cold. Cranberry sauce can be prepared 1 week ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated. Makes about 2 cups.
