This is a very good recipe for people who suffer from diabetic problems, or who are intollerant of dairy products as it contains no dairy products or sugar.
It has plenty of sweetness from all the dried fruit in the recipe.
It is lovely eaten as is, or spread with a small amount of butter or margerine.
