Ingredients
1/2 c. Homemade Wonder slim (or Prune baby food)3 Eggs equivalent of Egg Substitute
1/2 c. Orange juice
4 Tsp. Baking powder
3/4 Tsp. Salt
1/4 c. Raisins
1/2 c. Chopped nuts
1/2 c. Sugar
1/2 c. Mashed banana
2 1/2 c. Unbleached flour
1 1/2 Mixed candied fruit
Directions
Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, raisins, nuts, and candied fruit together. Combine and beat slightly the banana and orange juice; Set aside. Beat eggs into Wonder slim/prunes one at a time. Alternately, add prune/egg mixture and banana/orange mixture to dry ingredients mixed with fruits and nuts. A wooden fork" works well for the mixing. Pack into 9X5X3 loaf pan lightly sprayed with Pam and lined with wax paper. Bake at 350o for 1 hr. or until done. Cool 20 min. before removing wax paper and turning out on a rack. Cool before icing. Icing: Mix powdered sugar into an egg white until smooth and easily spreadable. You want a thin icing. If you get it too thick add a little skim milk. Dot icing with cut up candied (glace') cherries as desired. After frosting is firm wrap in aluminum foil and refrigerate. Improves with freezing. Notes: I usually double or triple the recipe. Otherwise you'll have leftover icing (which is also good on cookies). You can divide the dough out into smaller pans; makes nice gifts. I have modified the original posted recipe for Homemade Wonder slim by decreasing the lecithin: 3 c. water 1 12 oz. pk. prunes (cut-up type) 1 T.unbleached lecithin 1/4 tsp. citric acid Cover prunes with water and bring to a boil. Cool. Blend prunes water lecithin and citric acid in blender until smooth. Pour in clean quart jar and refrigerate. Keeps up to 30 days. I pour mine into old jelly jars and freeze them. I use 1:1 amounts when substituting for oleo in recipes. Posted by BETTE IDE "
