DATE AND PRUNE SQUARES
This is a really delicious variation of the old time favourite. I like a lot of filling so I increased the amount of fruit by one cup over the original recipe. You may also use non-dairy margarine to make this, as I did, and it will still turn out fine.

Steps:
- In a covered bowl, let the dates and prunes steep in the boiling water for about 10 minutes, to soften, then transfer to a saucepan.
- Add the sugar and let simmer for about 10 minutes, until thickened.
- Stir in the cinnamon and nutmeg and let cool.
- In a food processor, pulse together the oats, flour, sugar, salt and baking soda until the oats are chopped, 5 to 10 pulses.
- Pulse in the butter until crumbly, then pulse in the cold water until the mixture comes together.
- Press two-thirds into a greased 13" x 9" cake pan and spread with the date mixture.
- Mix the remaining oat mixture with the almonds, if using, and sprinkle over the date mixture, pressing lightly.
- Bake in a 350 degree F oven until light golden, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Let cool in the pan before cutting into squares.
