Fig and Date Bread image

I like to have this sweet, dark and hearty bread for breakfast or with afternoon coffee or tea. Try it thinly sliced and topped with cream cheese and a scattering of chopped dates.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup chopped pitted dates
1 cup chopped dried figs
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 cup boiling water
½ cup white sugar
½ cup chopped walnuts
2 eggs
