In a saucepan combine dates, raisins, prunes (dried cranberries) and water. Bring to boil and boil 5 minutes. Stir in margarine and salt. Set aside to cool. Add remaining ingredients to fruit; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Spoon into greased MINI-muffin pans. (I spooned it into 12 regular muffin tins.) Bake in preheated 350-degree F oven for 15 minutes. (If desired can bake in a greased 11 x 7 x 2-inch pan for 30 minutes.) Yield: 32 mini-muffins. (OR 12 regular size muffins) These were FANTASTIC!! I had tasted them when Sally made them using her recipe...and they were really wonderful!! But I wanted to lower the fat a bit more and adapted the recipe a bit more. I think they are excellent. ~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - NOTES : Nutrition using my adaptions to the original recipe: Cal 130.7 Fat 2.5g Carb 25g Fib 1.5g Pro 2g Sod 216mg CFF 17.1% Nutr.
