    Recipe says sticks of butter. Just trying to clarify if this means 3/4 C butter or 1 1/2 C butter. Anyone know or care to take a guess?

    It would be 3/4 cup butter. A lot of older recipes stated measurements of butter by "sticks".

    I'm glad you found the right recipe so you can make it the same way. Enjoy!

    Thanks for the clarification. Found figs but not dates, yet. Will keep on looking.

    Thank you! Can't wait to try these!
    My mom always made date nut loaf and I loved it, but every time I try to make it I end up with a date nut doorstop
    This looks like an easy substitute.

    My daughter made these for a 4-H demo years ago. Then we tried it with many different kinds of fruit. Pineapple was our favorite.
