I never had a fig bread before. Figs don&#39;t grow in the Philippines but hopefully I could make this recipe one day.Divina Pehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01683569023103415187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5327262630547636143.post-66407894755001045082009-09-13T19:18:35.157-07:002009-09-13T19:18:35.157-07:00I made this a few days ago...it was delicious!

I wouldn&#39;t have originally used assam melody tea had it not been for the recipe challenge. I like the idea of chai that one of the commenters said. Might have to hunt down more figs and make this again.Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00633712081197318104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5327262630547636143.post-65979830585762591972009-09-02T13:06:39.876-07:002009-09-02T13:06:39.876-07:00That looks DELICIOUS.Derekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14252799667749582430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5327262630547636143.post-21202473481341232942009-09-02T12:22:20.148-07:002009-09-02T12:22:20.148-07:00@ Laura: Glad you tried it out and it came out okay. I actually made this again on Monday night and I left it in 30 minutes too long and it still came out yummy, though dry especially by the next evening. This last time, I did soak the raisins in tea, but I think they could have gone for longer -- maybe even overnight. Chai could be super yummy, but I personally like the strong anise flavor so I wouldn&#39;t want anything that competed too much. Can&#39;t wait for dinner at your place!Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07319189630137216948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5327262630547636143.post-6812739891418127282009-09-02T08:39:48.972-07:002009-09-02T08:39:48.972-07:00Hey Jess, I saw this recipe and just had to give it a whirl. How could I not with a tree full of figs in my very own yard? It came out so good!! Unfortunately my roommate turned the oven up to 400 degrees to cook some yams while I was prepping the bread and I didn&#39;t notice. 45 minutes into the bread baking I&#39;m wondering why the outside is getting so dark while the inside isn&#39;t done yet. The joys of having roommates! It was good nevertheless. Things I would try for next time: Also soaking the raisins in the tea, perhaps using a natural black chai tea, or adding cloves, ginger or allspice. yum. would definitely make it again. Thanks for sharing the recipe!lauraborealishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01110279263132697512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5327262630547636143.post-34004627245626107142009-09-01T17:02:24.312-07:002009-09-01T17:02:24.312-07:00@ Ozoz: Yum Chai tea syrup sounds awesome. Love the creativity. Just make sure if it&#39;s sweetened that you reduce the sugar in the recipe.Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07319189630137216948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5327262630547636143.post-89427241873295997712009-09-01T13:44:18.260-07:002009-09-01T13:44:18.260-07:00Fruit breads are lovely...Banana bread is my recent favourite.
