Made this using very moist & tasty Medjool dates & some soft & chewy dried apricots! Very easy preparation, & I baked the loaves at 375 degrees F for almost 40 minutes! Wonderfully tasting treat these are (well, at least the 1st one was, while the other is in the freezer for later enjoyment)! Many thanks for a great keeper!
