Hi Marilyn. I had spotted the recipe at www.screcipe.com but assumed it wasn't possible for me to make, because of those apple slices, to which I'm allergic.

Now that I've read your notes about substituting other fruits, I am optimistic. Do I understand correctly that the dried apple slices can be replaced with dried fruit that I'm not allergic to, such as dried unsweetened cherries, dried unsweetened blueberries, or dried unsweetened dates?

Last summer, I rinsed, pitted, and then froze, several cups of cherries. But I used most of them to make frozen cherry yogurt. I'm not sure what quantity of cherries I still have in the freezer, nor what volume they will have once I puree them. If I don't have 2 cups of cherry puree, can I just puree some other frozen berries without spoiling the results too much?

I'll try not to substitute any other ingredients, just so that I get some semblance of your original version :-)

Thanks.

Ellen,

Absolutely you can substitute dried unsweetened blueberries or cherries

or dates. The recipe as posted used home-dried apple slices because

that's what I had handy when I was first putting it together.

As for using mixes of berries, that, too, works. Mara just did one with

blueberries, cherries, and cranberries, and said it turned out great.

I made this recipe for a friend of mine while I was in Ireland, and used

some apples, some pears, and, I think, a ripe banana because that was

what was handy.

I highly recommend using the Bundt pan, as this is a very moist cake, and

is likely to be kind of pudding-like in the middle if you using a regular

cake pan or pans.

You can use fresh frozen cherries, definitely. I di not use any canned

fruit except for one follows the SCD dictate of " canned in its own

juice " OR home canned with no illegals.

I'm still working on a cook book. SLOWLY. <g>
