Low Fat Carrot & Fruit Loaf

**Mandy**'s Note:

This is a great cake for those watching their weight, it's moist & full of flavour but doesn't contain any oil or eggs, it gets it moisture from the fruit & juice. You can also sneak some zucchini in for extra veggie content & some crushed pineapple if you like.

This was really good. I had my doubts when putting it together, no eggs , no oil how is this going to work.I didnt have apricots so I used mixed candied peel lol you use what you have I guess. This was moist and tasty. Had a hard time getting enough left on the plate to take a picture. I brought a piece to a daughter and she asked for the recipe. Thank you so much for this Mandy I will make this often.
