Notes
Recipe excerpted with permission from What's for Breakfast? Morning Favorites from Dianne's Vegan Kitchen by Dianne Wenz.Note from Becky: I had the best results when I left the cover on the pan, checking in every few minutes to see how plump my dried fruit was getting. It took around 10 minutes, more or less, depending on what fruit I chose.
