***I bake this in the mini bread loaf pans and give out at Christmas.*** (adjust baking time as needed)

***It has become almost impossible to find the plum baby food now, I don't know if they stopped making it or what. So, now I use prune baby food or if I can find it, I get a can of plums in the fruit section and put in blender till smooth and use that.***
