Enjoy this fruity twist on a holiday classic!
Makes about 4-1/2 dozen
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 cup bite-size pitted prunes
- 1 cup dates
- 1 cup currants
- 1 cup candied cherries, dried cherries, or dried cranberries
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Using a food processor, grind the fruit and nuts and mix well. Work into the mixture as much confectioners’ sugar as it takes to form 1-inch balls. Roll in granulated sugar, then place on a rack to dry for 24 hours. Note that you want to cut back on the sugar in this recipe if you find the fruit sweet enough. You may also like to add a small amount of brandy or flavored liquor to bind the chopped ingredients.
