I am making this recipe at my next show and am practicing for DH today, can someone please tell me what mixed dried fruit bits are? I picked up some mixed dried fruit and just figured I would chop them with the FC, but other times when I have used it to chop moist/sticky things, doesn't work as well as I would like???
 
you're on the right track!! I'd chop them up before my show if I had any concerns. Using one of our great knives works too!
 
I have that same question- making it for a party Friday- ANYONE HAVE SUGGESTIONS BASED UPON WHAT THEY'VE USED RE: FRUIT BITS?
 
I bought Sunmaid brand. looks like this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001EQ5OVY/?tag=pfamazon01-20in the aisle with the raisins
 
I use something similar to Debbie, they are in the same section as the raisins.
