- 1 cup chopped dried California figs
- 1 cup red wine*
- 1/3 cup white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups red wine*
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 teaspoon coarse pepper
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, smashed

To prepare Chutney, stir together all ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered for 40 minutes. Remove cover and increase heat slightly; cook for 10 minutes more or until thickened. Remove cinnamon sticks. (May be prepared several days ahead and stored in the refrigerator.)
To prepare pork, place a gallon-size resealable plastic bag in a large bowl to keep it upright. In small bowl, combine boiling water and salt; stir to dissolve and let cool. Turn salt-water, remaining ingredients for brine, and pork in bag; seal well. Store in refrigerator for 48 hours, turning bag occasionally. Remove pork from brine and rinse well; pat dry.
Cook on a well-oiled grill over medium-high heat for about 40 minutes or until pork is cooked through (170°F), turning occasionally. Serve with warm or room temperature Chutney.
Note: Mirassou Pinot Noir is suggested.
