Sugar Plums (Video)

This is a great no-bake holiday recipe given to me by my friend Kara.  It’s a favorite at her house, and we thought we would give it a try.  Although there are no plums in this recipe, there are a lot of wholesome ingredients like dried fruits, nuts and honey. It’s super fast and the kids will love it.  Check out the video.

INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup honey
1 teasoon cinnamon
2 tsp orange zest
1 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
2 cups slivered almonds, toasted
3/4 cup dried apricots, roughly chopped
1/4 cup dried cherries
1 cup dates roughly chopped
1/4 cup superfine sugar

DIRECTIONS

Mix honey, orange zest, and spices in a small bowl and set aside.  Pulse almonds in a food processor until it is like coarse meal.  Add dried fruits and pulse several times until chopped.  Add honey mixture and pulse until blended together.  Roll into small dime-sized balls and roll in sugar.
