    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
       3/4           cup  low-fat buttermilk
       1/2      teaspoon  finely grated lemon rind
       1/4      teaspoon  ground nutmeg
       1/8      teaspoon  ground cloves
       2/3           cup  chopped dried figs
       1/3           cup  chopped pitted dates
       1/2           cup  packed brown sugar
    2        tablespoons  canola oil
    2              large  eggs
       3/4           cup  whole wheat flour -- (about 3 1/2 oz)
       3/4           cup  all-purpose flour -- (about 3 1/2 oz)
    1 1/2      teaspoons  baking soda
       1/8      teaspoon  salt
                          vegetable cooking spray
       1/3           cup  chopped walnuts

Whole wheat flour and walnuts give this dense bread a rich, hearty 
flavor. Add sweetness from dried figs and dates, a little spice from 
nutmeg and cloves, and zing from grated lemon rind, and this recipe 
stands out from the rest of the crowd.

Preheat oven to 350F.

Heat first 4 ingredients in a small, heavy saucepan over medium heat 
just until bubbles begin to form around edge (do not boil). Remove 
from heat; stir in figs and dates. Let stand 20 minutes or until fruit softens.

Combine sugar, oil, and eggs in a large bowl; stir with a whisk until 
well blended. Stir in cooled milk mixture.

Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. 
Combine flours, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; make a well in 
center of mixture. Add milk mixture to flour mixture, stirring just 
until moist. Spoon batter into an 8 x 4" loaf pan coated with cooking 
spray. Sprinkle walnuts evenly over batter. Bake at 350F for 40 
minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. 
Cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cool 
completely on a wire rack.

Yield: 12 servings (serving size: 1 slice)
