Wow what a great holiday side dish!!! My non vegan family loved it! The only changes I made were due to forgetting to purchase a few ingredients (With all the Christmas rush not too bad). I used applesauce for the prune puree and orange juice for the apricot brandy. I will defintely be making this again for future holiday meals. Thanks!!!
