I noticed many of the recipes call for fig and dates but they don't specify fresh or dried...is it asummed they are fresh unless otherwise stated?

Hi Flygrl -

with figs, yes. With dates, there are different levels of hydration, but they are never dried like other fruits. They are just a dryer fruit than other fruits.
