Ingredients :

200g dried apricots

100g dried pears

100g dried figs

100g pitted prunes

50g dried apples

2 cups water

2 bananas

1 cup apple sauce

1 tbsp lemon juice

Method :

Preheat the oven to 190C and lightly spray a 23cm x 13cm loaf tin with vegetable oil spray. Place water and all of the dried fruits in a large saucepan. Bring to the boil and cook until fruit is soft. Mash the boiled fruit until it is mushy, using a knife and fork. Allow to cool to room temperature.

In a blender place the bananas, apple sauce and lemon juice. Mix until combined. Add banana mixture to mashed fruit mixture and mix well. Add remaining dry ingredients to fruit mixture and fold until combined.

Pour into prepared loaf tin and bake for 40-45 minutes. (Test with skewer to see if cooked. Skewer should come out dry.) Cool in tin for 15 minutes before removing.
