Steps:
- 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.

HAROSETH TRUFFLES
This recipe takes a traditional Passover treat, and gives it a little twist. Here, dried fruit and nuts are chopped in a food processor, flavored with cinnamon and moistened with a bit of pomegranate juice for a Sephardic version of the recipe. They're rolled into balls, and dusted with unsweetened coconut. Feel free to substitute any dried fruit or nuts you'd like.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the pomegranate juice and cinnamon.
- Combine the dates, apricots, cherries, almonds, and pistachios in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse together until mixture is coarsely combined. Add the cinnamon-juice mixture and process until the mixture forms a smooth, sticky paste. Add more juice, a teaspoon at a time, if the paste does not stick together.
- Spread the coconut flakes on a large plate or jelly roll pan. Roll the dough, 1 heaping tablespoon at a time into a ball; roll in the coconut to coat evenly. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Tips
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted.
- To make the truffles ahead of time, roll them into balls and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Freeze for up to 2 hours, or until firm. Then, dip the truffles in the melted chocolate and roll them in the chopped walnuts.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
