You may know figs from such cookies as “Fig Newtons,” or references to figgy pudding in Christmas carols, but it's time you had a real introduction to their flavor. Indeed, this sweet fig spread and red wine glaze is a perfect match to a succulent pork tenderloin. With goat cheese-topped Brussels and carrots on the side, you'll be grateful for expanding your fruit horizons beyond cookies.
