Categories     Snack

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 oz Fruit Bliss French Plums (2 5oz packs) About 2 1/2 cups
1/2 cup pecans (toasted, optional)
2 tsp ground cinnamon, plus more for dusting
1 tsp finely cut dried orange peel
3/4 tsp ground clove
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp table salt
1/4-1/2 cup granulated sugar or raw sugar

Steps:

  • In a food processor, combine all of the ingredients except the sugar. Pulse until everything is combined, but not completely pureed.
  • Spread a piece of parchment paper over a plate or baking sheet and spoon 13 1" spoonfuls onto the parchment. Like you would with cookies. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Place the sugar onto a shallow dish so that you can roll the balls into the sugar to coat them. Roll a ball with the palms of your hands and then roll it in the sugar with your finger tips. Repeat with all the spoonfuls. You want these to stay cold, so try not to over roll them. They should conform to a ball easily. Serve immediately.

Time 30m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup pitted dates (coarsely chopped)

  • Place the chopped dates, walnuts, cranberries, prunes, and hazelnuts in the food processor . Pulse the mixture a few times.
  • Add the cherry preserves, cinnamon , and cloves, and pulse several more times until the mixture begins to come together. It should hold itself in a ball when you squeeze it between your fingers. You want to retain some of the coarse texture. Do not overprocess it into a sticky paste.
  • Roll the candy into small 1-inch balls. Then roll the balls in the granulated sugar until they are fully covered with the sugar.
  • Store the finished sugarplums in an airtight container between layers of waxed paper until you are ready to serve them. Sugarplums can be kept refrigerated, for up to one month.
  • Enjoy.
