DATE AND FIG QUICK BREAD



Date and Fig Quick Bread image

A bit unusual but good all the same. You may substitute plumped raisins for the figs if you like. You may also use Splenda®. To prevent crumbling, use finely diced dates or boil whole dates for 10 minutes before chopping. Serve with cream cheese.

½ cup chopped walnuts
