Fig Bread

Ingredients:

• 3 eggs
• 2 1/2 cups sugar (I did 1 and 1/2 cups and it was just right for our liking)
  
• 2 cups ripe figs, mashed
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil
• 3 cups flour
• 2 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup chopped pecans

Preparation:

Beat eggs; add sugar and beat well. Add the mashed figs and vegetable oil. Sift together flour, soda, salt and cinnamon. Add the fig mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Beat well. Fold in chopped pecans. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour in greased and floured loaf pans.
Makes 2 large or 3 small loaves.


This is a really good quick bread and it uses fresh figs which right now we have in abundance!
