My sister, Norma, made a fruit compote of dried apricots, cranberries, raisins and spices. And she gave me the leftovers, which made about two cups. Just the right amount for the Apple Walnut Bread recipe posted by Aquila on Nov. 10th. I just substituted the fruit compote for the apples. I didn't add any of the spices since the compote was already spiced and I used water instead of soy milk. It came out great! It's all gone now.

I gave this a try for our Holiday Potluck last night. I made a compote with dried cranberries, apricots, peaches, pears, dates and golden raisins simmered in water with 1/4 of the sugar and 1/2 of the spices. I used the extra liquid from the compote instead of soy milk. I also put in 1/3 cup each sliced almonds, walnuts, and pecans. Yum! But nothing like any fruitcake I've had before (i.e. it was good and not full of neon fruit). I don't think there will be any leftover for a doorstop.
