Cindy's Low-Fat Fruit Cake (1994 version)
2 cups raisins
2 1/2 cups dried apples, cut up small
2 1/4 cups mixed dried fruit cut up small (I used pineapple and papaya
this year)
3 tsps. allspice
1 1/2 tsp nutmeg
3/4 tsp ground cloves
3 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp nutmeg
5 1/4 cups hot water
1 cup molasses
1/2 cup honey
4 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
3 tsps baking soda
1 1/2 cup oat bran
Put water, fruit and spices into a large microwaveable bowl. Cover and
heat on high for 10 minutes. Remove and stir in molasses and honey.
Cool.
Mix flour, bran and soda, (and walnuts if using).
Combine fruit and flour mixtures. Stir until completely mixed.
Pour into three non-stick loaf pans. Bake at 325 till done (a
toothpick comes out clean). It took mine about 55 minutes.
Note: Store in refrigerator. If it gets dry, moisten with orange or
other fruit juice and allow it to soak in.
