At least one hour before serving, add the Ruby port, honey and brown sugar to a small saucepan. Stir well and place over low heat. Reduce the liquid by half, until it becomes thick and syrupy. Set it aside to cool completely.
Position an oven rack on the highest setting, closest to the broiler, and preheat to high.
Place the cut figs, skin side down, on a cookie sheet. Top each fig half with a half teaspoon of the Gorgonzola cheese.
Place the cookie sheet under the broiler. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is just melted. Do not overcook, as you do not want the figs to become soft and watery.
Remove the figs from the broiler and allow them to cool slightly. Arrange them on a serving platter and judiciously drizzle the cooled port reduction over the figs and cheese.
Sprinkle the basil over the figs. If desired, top with caramelized pecans or pine nuts. Serve at room temperature and enjoy!
