Ingredients

1 cup apple juice

1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick, or margarine)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups dried figs, stems removed, coarsely chopped

1 3/4 cups flour (I use half whole wheat)

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

2 eggs

1/3 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon grated lemon rind (or orange rind)

Directions

In a small saucepan, heat the apple juice over moderately high heat just until boiling, about 3 minutes.

Remove from heat, add butter, and stir until melted.

Stir in the salt and figs.

Cool to room temperature.

Preheat the oven to 350*F.

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

In a medium bowl, beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla until well incorporated. Stir in fig mixture and lemon rind.

Add all to the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened.

**Do not over mix.**

Spoon the batter into a greased 8"x4"x2" loaf pan.

Bake for about 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let it cool upright in the pan on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes. Remove and let cool completely.

Makes 1 loaf.
