Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups pitted dates
- 1 1/2 cups dried apricots
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 3/4 cup shelled pistachios
- 2 tablespoons honey (for vegan use date syrup or agave)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Place dates, apricots, raisins, pistachios and honey and place in a food processor.
- Pulse for about 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth but still has texture. You may need to break up the sticky mixture a few times if it collects in a ball in the processor.
- In a bowl, mix together the sugar and the cinnamon. Form date mixture into balls that are about ¾ inch in diameter. The balls will be sticky and soft. It will be easier to shape them if you wet your hands slightly.
- Dry your hands. Dip the balls in the cinnamon sugar and coat thoroughly, and re-roll between your palms to smooth out any rough edges. Serve at room temperature.
