        First, thank you all for the many responses. There were many
interesting suggestions, but none came close to the dried fruit  fruitcake
recipe from 20 years ago that I am trying to duplicate.  So, I've decided
that I will do some experimenting during this holiday season and see if I
can come up with something that works.

        My concern is about the dried fruits (apple/peaches/apricots/etc)
that I plan to use.  I think I remember reading that some companies dust
their dried fruit with flour to keep it from sticking together.  If this is
true, which brands can we count on as being GF  ?

        BTW:   I promise I will post the recipe that I finally come  up with.

Thank You.
 & Have a Great GF Thanksgiving!
