Every year for the past ten years I have brought these delectable fruit balls into class before Christmas. So many of you asked me for the recipe that I have decided to add this extra post and send it to everyone.
Dried Fruit Balls
1 cup dried apricots
1 cup pitted date
1 cup raisins
1 cup coconut flakes (fine and unsweetened)
½ cup ground almonds
2 tablespoons sherry or orange juice concentrate
coconut flakes for garnish
In a bowl or food processor, finely chop the apricots, dates, raisins and coconut. Stir in the almonds and sherry or juice, mixing the ingredients thoroughly.
Snip off enough of the mixture to shape into a 1-inch ball. Roll the fruit balls in the coconut. Place the fruit balls in layers in a container, separating the layers with wax paper, and tightly cover the container.
Note: It’s much easier to chop using a food processor than by hand.
Variations: add a few drops of almond extract or 1 tsp. finely grated orange rind.
This recipe can also be found with all my other favourites click HERE to print it if you wish.
