Figs in Mosto Cotto (Grape Syrup) with Fresh Ricotta
Mosto cotto (also called saba) is nothing more than the freshly pressed juice of wine grapes, simmered down to syrup. It's fairly expensive at specialty markets, but Angelo Garro, a cook and artisan blacksmith living in San Francisco, makes his own from grapes grown in a friend's vineyard. If you can't find wine grapes, try our mosto cotto recipe--it's a good approximation of the real thing.
