Preheat oven to 325° F.

Whisk brown sugar into eggbeaters and let sit while you steam the dried fruit. Whisk warm fruit into sugar mixture until cooled and add vanilla and salt. Fold flour in gently but thoroughly and spread on cookie sheet or half sheet pan that has been sprayed with nonstick spray.
