Ingredients:
6 ounces slivered almonds, toasted |
4 ounces dried plums |
4 ounces dried apricots |
4 ounces dried figs |
1/4 cup powdered sugar |
1/4 teaspoon anise seeds, toasted |
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds, toasted |
1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds, toasted |
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom |
pinch kosher salt |
1/4 cup honey |
1 cup coarse sugar |
Directions:
1. Put the almonds, plums, apricots, and figs into the bowl of a food processor and pulse 20 to 25 times or until the fruit and nuts are chopped into small pieces, but before the mixture becomes a ball.
2. Combine the powdered sugar, anise seeds, fennel seeds, caraway seeds, cardamom, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Add the nut and fruit mixture and the honey and mix using gloved hands until well combined.
3. Scoop the mixture into 1/4-ounce portions and roll into balls. If serving immediately, roll in the coarse sugar and serve. If not serving immediately, put the balls on a cooling rack and leave uncovered until ready to serve. Roll in the coarse sugar prior to serving.
4. The Sugarplums may be stored on the cooling rack for up to a week. After a week, store in an airtight container for up to a month.
