Change from the juicing screen to the blank screen before proceeding with the rest of the recipe. Soak the raisins and apricots into separate bowls. And a food processor, combine the pecans and pinenuts; process until uniformly fine. Add the coconut and pulse a few times until mixed. Add the cinnamon, five spice powder, Garam masala, nutmeg and clove and calls until mixed; set aside. In a heavy duty juicer, using a blank screen, alternate putting the carrot pulp, raisins, apricots and dates through the machine and into a bowl. Kneed this mixture with your hands until the ingredients are evenly combined. Add the nut mixture a little at a time, kneeding it in. Firmly pack the mixture into a form pan or mold. This recipe is large enough to use several small molds or containers or put it into 2 8-inch layer pans and make a layer cake with raisin frosting. Yields 8 cups
