Have you thought of fruit butters and cheeses? These are traditionally 
made with practically any friut, esp. with softer ones like berries. The 
fruit cheese are basically like an fruit butter, but they are cooked 
until they are much firmer, to the point of being molded, cooled, and cut 
into shapes or fingers. You could then dust with powdered suger. This 
comes out like the commercial applets and cotlets.

I can look up my recipes if anyone's interestes.
