~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fresh Fig Spread:

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

Sugar, to taste (I used a few tablespoons)

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup madeira wine (or port)

1 small sprig fresh rosemary

1 small container fresh black Mission figs, stems removed and quartered

pinch of kosher salt

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Toppings:

8 oz fresh goat cheese

sliced prosciutto, about 8 slices

two generous handfuls of arugula, tossed with a little olive oil and aged balsamic vinegar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Roll out pizza dough and place your pizza crust on a large round pizza pan, lightly dusted with polenta or cornmeal. You could instead make a rectangle shaped pizza using a large sheet pan, also dusted with polenta

To make fig spread, heat the olive oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions sprinkle with some sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized. Add the rosemary and balsamic and stir. Add the figs and the madeira and simmer uncovered until reduced, occasionally scraping up any bits that have accumulated on the bottom of the pan.

Pour the mixture into a food processor and puree (you want it to have a little texture, not totally smooth). Remove and cool; store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Spread some fig spread on your pizza crust, enough to coat it but not too thick. Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese on spread.

Bake until the crust is browned and the cheese is melted, about 8 minutes. Take the pizza out and while it is still hot, top with folds of prosciutto and a mound of dressed arugula.
