Notes
You can substitute 1 ½ tsp. allspice for the other spices. You can also use applesauce instead of pumpkin (omit nutmeg). Or, you can use bananas instead of pumpkin (omit spices). Just adjust the spices to the fruit you use. You can add all the dried fruit and nuts, or just the ones you like. This recipe adapts easily to whatever you like, or so it seems.
