On the third day of Christmas, The Sacred Olive paired for me:
Aged Fig Balsamic Vinegar
 

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups spelt flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon of The Sacred Olive ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cup peeled and shredded pear
3/4 cup of chopped fresh figs
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 teaspoon of The Sacred Olive Aged Fig balsamic vinegar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup The Sacred Olive EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
Chopped figs, walnuts and raw sugar for topping

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat an 8 inch loaf pan using The Sacred Olive EVOO or Butter Olive Oil and set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda. In another bowl combine pear, egg, balsamic vinegar and oil. Add liquids to dry ingredients and stir just until moistened. Gently stir in chopped figs and walnuts. Pour into the greased loaf pan and top with more chopped figs, walnuts and sugar. Bake for about 30 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool slightly before slicing.
