* The book contains detailed guidelines on how much to substitute in what
situations, but a general rule would be to replace all of the fat in a
recipe with half as much Prune Puree or Prune Butter, and if the recipe is
too dry, add more, up to a 1 to 1 relationship.
The Chef's Comments: "On another topic, I got a book a while back that
explains a way to cut almost all of the fat from a recipe. Here are the two
"miracle substances" that are supposed to be able to pull this off." - Lisa
