GLUTEN-FREE FRUITY CHEWS

by Allan Gardyne

These are easy to make, and if you don't have all the ingredients,

don't worry -- you can simply vary the recipe to suit your cupboard,

or your taste buds.

Ingredients:

1 cup tofu

2 tablespoons orange juice

1 tablespoon macadamia oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 cup shredded coconut

1 tablespoon raisins, chopped

1 tablespoon prunes, chopped

1 tablespoon almonds, chopped

½ teaspoon mixed spice

grated rind 1 lemon

grated rind 1 orange

½ cup dessicated coconut

Method:

Mash the tofu and blend with oil and fruit juices. Add everything

else except the coconut and mix well. If it's too dry, add more

fruit juice. Roll into walnut-sized balls. Roll in dessicated

coconut and refrigerate.

Variations: Other ingredients to try -- dried apricots, dried mango,

dates, your favourite liqueur and glace cherries. Roll in grated

chocolate, or refrigerate and dip in melted chocolate.
