Source: "Secrets of Fat-Free Baking" by Sandra Woodruff, RD. * Prune Butter is another recipe in this book, and is meant to be used as a substitute for all kinds of fat in baked goods. It is not available commerically without added sweetener, but 1 c of it can be made in a food processor with 8 oz pitted prunes and 6 tb water or fruit juice (I used apple juice in the batch I made for this recipe). The Chef's Comments: "Last week, I made the Prune Butter, and decided to try it out with one of the recipes in the book. This bread was good the first night, but I wrapped it up and tried it again later in the week, and it was terrible. It didn't have the stamina of other quickbreads, I guess." ~ Lisa From: Lisa Date: 09-08-96 (12:32) The Polka Dot Cottage, a BBS with a taste of home. 1-973-822-3627 -----
