Ingredients
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 1 cup mashed potatoes
- 1 cup pulverized sugar, approximately (? I used vegan powdered sugar)
- 2 cups chopped mixed dried tropical fruit
- 1 cup nut meats, chopped
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
In a large bowl, gradually mix vegan sugar into potatoes. When mixture begins to thicken, add pineapple, cherries, nuts, vanilla and almond extracts. Knead in as much additional vegan sugar as mixture will absorb. (Perhaps this is where I went wrong, I stopped at 1 1/2 cups to avoid a cloying result.)
Pat into a buttered cake tin and let stand in a cool place for 24 hours. Then turn out and cut into slices. Makes about 2 pounds.
