  3. Mary Ellen REVIEW:

    This is the best fig bread recipe I have ever come across. You can not use cooking sherry but need dry real sherry. like Taylor's. I have given this recipe to so many people I can't count. It is delicious and haven't met one person who doesn't love it! It will not disappoint!

    can you sub dry sherry and what would it be

  5. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    I doubled the recipe and have made it 3 times. After the first time, I reduced the sugar to 1 cup/loaf and it was still plenty sweet. I used King Arthur white whole wheat flour. Everyone loves this bread/dessert!
