Where are all the daily recipes from The Daily Raw Blog? With the holidays, hanging with the expanded family and a couple of other projects in the works, I've been kind of busy. No worries, there will still be tasty raw recipes posted, just not everyday.

I do have some exciting news I will post later in the month, so at the very least you have to stay tuned for that.

Here is the fruitcake I promised a couple of weeks back. This is the one my (very picker eater) eldest daughter was willing to go raw for if she could only eat this. When I told her no, she nixed the whole idea of raw foods.

Raw Fruitcake
serves 4-6

Dried Fruit
1/4 cup agave nectar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup dried apricots, chopped into small pieces
1/4 cup dried pineapples, chopped into small pieces
1/4 cup dried cherries
1/4 cup golden raisins

Cake
4 cups walnuts
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup dates

In a large bowl, whisk agave nectar and water together. Add all of dried fruit into bowl. Let set for one-two hours or until the fruit softens.

In a food processor, combine walnuts, seasonings and sea salt. Add dates and continue to mix until you achieve a sticky dough.

Transfer the walnut dough to a large bowl. Fold in the soaked fruit until distributed throughout the dough.

Shape the fruitcake in a 5-inch round or square or however you choose. Have fun with it!
