I can't recall the specific reference to the dish you describe above,
but I'd be willing to bet it's caraway confits as a garnish. Dishes of
figs stewed in wine I know about. Also a pottage of Bullace plums and
wine, which I can't seem to find anywhere but know exists in some source
or other. As usual, I was just looking at it the other day, and now that
I actually need it, it's gone...
