Recipe

*Sift the first 5 ingredients into a large bowl.
*Stir in next 8 ingredients, making sure to coat the dry fruits with flour.
*In a separate bowl, combine following 4 ingredients (if you are using extract, add enough liquid - either water or
*orange juice - to equal 1/3 cup). Add the Egg Replacer mixture to this mixture.
*Combine the liquid mixture with the flour mixture in larger bowl (the batter will be more fruit than flour and will be a bit stiff).
*Lightly Pam a 2-quart glass bowl that will fit into your slow cooker.
Pour the batter in and cover tightly with a cloth tied with string, leaving a loop on each side to aid in lifting the mold from the slow cooker when the pudding is done. Place 2 coups of hot water in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Place the pudding on a rack. Steam for 5 - 6 hours on high.

*When done, remove from the cooker, remove the cloth, and cool for 10 minutes in the bowl. Unmold and serve with Golden Carrot Sauce.
