Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon Fig Puree , divided
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 4 ounces Orchard Choice or Sun-Maid Mission Dried Figs
  • 4 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 cup water
  • 6 tablespoons neutral oil (like canola, safflower or grapeseed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • Sparkling sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a (8 ½- x 4 ½ x 2 ½ inch) standard loaf pan.
  • Stir together 1 tablespoon fig puree with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • In a bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, sugar, spices, and salt. Tumble chopped figs and cranberries in flour until coated. In a separate bowl, whisk together orange zest, water, 1/2 cup of the fig puree, oil, and eggs. Pour wet ingredients into the bowl of flour. Fold until just combined. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top of the batter.
  • Using the bowl of thinned out fig puree, polka dot the top of the batter. Drag a toothpick through and down the circles of fig puree so they swirl. Sprinkle on sparkling sugar if desired.
  • Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the densest part of the quickbread comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before slicing.
