For an enhanced flavor profile, consider adding a splash of balsamic vinegar or a pinch of cinnamon to the compote while cooking. If fresh figs are not available, dried figs can be substituted. Rehydrate them in warm water before quartering and adding to the recipe. Toasted nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, add a delightful crunch and complementary flavor to this appetizer.
