This is from Kate Wood's Eat Smart Eat Raw

Christmas Sweets
Like miniature CHristmas Puddings

4 oz - 125g almonds
4 oz - 125g dried figs
4 oz - 125g raisins

juice 1/2 orange

I just use the food processor but she says to make them in a champion juicer

We had this at Thanksgiving. It was SO good. A friend gave me the recipe, so I don't know where it originally came from.

Raw Mincemeat Pie

1 apple
1 ripe pear
1/2 c. raisins
1/4 c. currants
1/2 c. dried figs
1/2 c. dried papaya
1 c. cranberries
1/4 c. fresh orange juice
2 T. dried orange peel (I left this out as I didn't have any)
1 T. fresh lemon juice
1 T. pumpkin pie spice (I did not use this much)
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cloves
1 T. Braggs
2 T psyllium powder (I left this out as it was thick enough already)
1 basic crust

Core the apple and pear. Chop into small pieces. Soak the raisins, currants, papaya, and figs several hours. Drain. Coarsely chop the cranberries n food processor. Do the same with dried fruit. Combine all ingredients together. Mix well. Add a little more psyllium to hold filling together if necessary. Press into basic crust. Chill.
