This was pretty good, but definitely too much molasses! It made it taste like prune juice. Next time I think I'll either omit the molasses altogether, or just add a tiny bit.

Everyone enjoyed it so much that there wasn't nearly enough to go around. I used a Mediterranean mixture of dried fruits (from Trader Joe's) that included figs, apricots and cherries, along with the other ingredients. The result was fantastic and I'm making a triple batch for Christmas. Then I'm going to experiment with using the infused fruit in some kind of cake.
