i found this recipe on the internet... it is an alternative for people that have to avoid wheat... I also read,, some place that if you don't want to use candied fruit that you can use dried fruit but you need to soak them in fruit juice. Read more .. I haven't tried either that hint or this recipe... it is from the The Australian Women's Weekly Celebration Cookbook. See less
