Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Dried apricots
- 1 cup Dried figs
- 1 cup Pitted dates
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 0.5 cup Almonds
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
Instructions
In a food processor, combine dried apricots, dried figs, and pitted dates. Pulse until the mixture becomes finely chopped and starts to clump together.
Add walnuts, almonds, honey, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves to the food processor. Pulse again until the nuts are finely chopped and evenly distributed, and the mixture forms a sticky, cohesive dough.
Using clean hands, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a small ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used, making approximately 24 sugar plums.
Place the granulated sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll each ball in the sugar until fully coated.
Arrange the sugar plums on a plate or in a container. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or refrigerated for longer freshness.
