Meanwhile in a small saucepan combine dried fruit and enough water to cover. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer covered for 10 minutes; drain. Stir together brown sugar and eggs till combined. Stir in drained dried fruit, walnuts, coconut, and vanilla. Add flour; stir until combined. Spread dried fruit mixture evenly over baked crust. Bake 375 for 15 minutes; cool. For the frosting: beat butter and orange peel with mixer until combined. At low speed gradually beat in the powdered sugar. Add orange juice a little at a time, until it is spreading consistency. Spread frosting over cooled bars and sprinkle with the walnuts.
