you might try a vegetable oil instead of the butter. If I recall your
original recipe correctly it is quite similar to one I make to sell. I use
regular vegetable oil in that; I cut the sugar to 1/2 cup, use 1 cup honey
and about 4 cups of raisins. I have made them with only the honey but they
don't taste quite the same and the baking time gets more difficult to guage
properly.
