Kitchen Tips
Tip 1
Substitute
Tap into the variety of dried fruits now available at the supermarket. When recipes call for raisins, try using another dried fruit, such as blueberries, cherries, cranberries, dates, figs or prunes, instead. If using larger pieces of dried fruit, be sure to cut them into smaller raisin-size pieces before using.
Tip 2
Nutrition Bonus
The pumpkin makes these perfectly spiced bars an excellent source of vitamin A.
