Ingredients

Quantity		Ingredient
1	cup	Dried Figs, ground Boiling water
¾	cup	Pistachios
1½	cup	All-purpose flour
1	teaspoon	Baking soda
¼	teaspoon	Salt
4	tablespoons	Margarine or butter

Directions

In a medium-sized heat-proof bowl, combine the figs and pistachios, add boiling water and let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 F.

Grease an 8-½" by 4-½" loaf pan. In medium sized bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, beat the butter until fluffy. Gradually beat in the sugar. Add the egg and vanilla and beat for 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightened. Add the dry ingredients and beat until just blended. With a spoon, blend in the fig mixture. Turn into the prepared pan and bake 1 to 1¼ hours, or until the bread just begins to pull away from the sides of the pan, and the top springs back when lightly touched. Cool in pan on a rack for 15 minutes, and then turn out and cool completely. Wrap in plastic and store overnight before serving. Cut into thin slices.
