Old-Fashioned Candied Fruit Roll

Choose fresh dried fruits when making this confection.

Wash raisins, figs and apricots; shake in a cloth to remove excess moisture.

Remove seeds from dates and combine with washed fruits, pineapple and coconut.

Put fruit-coconut mixture through a food grinder, using the coarse blade.

Combine ground mixture with coarsely chopped nuts and spread out on a flat pan which has been spread with the melted butter.
