Servings: 25

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup(s) raisins

1 1/2 cup(s) dried cranberries

1/2 cup(s) dried blueberries

1/2 cup(s) dried cherries

4 cup(s) toasted pecans, rough chopped

3 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon

3 teaspoon(s) ground ginger

1 1/2 teaspoon(s) allspice

2 teaspoon(s) nutmeg

3/4 teaspoon(s) ground cloves

1 1/2 cup(s) powdered sugar + additional, as needed, for rolling

1 cup(s) honey

Directions:

1. Roughly chop dried fruit & toasted pecans (or pulse in food processor until roughly chopped.)
2. In mixing bowl, combine chopped fruit & nuts with powdered sugar & spices. Mix by hand until sugar coats all of the pieces.
3. Add honey & mix until mixture comes together into a stiff mass.
4. Pinch off pieces of mixture & roll into 1 balls. (Hint: a little cold water on the hands helps prevent sticking.) Roll each piece in powdered sugar.
5. Store at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for longer storage.
6. Note: We prefer the texture of fruits rough chopped by hand. Using a food processor results in a more blended, sticky mixture. Sugar Plums stay firmer stored in the refrigerator. Placing each ball into a mini-cupcake paper prevents them from sticking together when stored.
