Sugar Plums

• portions: 12 servings
• temps actif: 10 minutes
• temps total: 15 minutes

Ingrédients

1/2 cup prunes, finely chopped

1/4 cup dried apricots or dates, finely chopped

1/4 cup dried cranberries, finely chopped

1/2 cup toasted, unsalted almonds, chopped

1/4 cup toasted, unsalted pecans, chopped

2 tablespoons cherry jam

3/4 tsp orange zest

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/8 tsp nutmeg

1/8 tsp ground cloves

1/8 tsp cardamom

Pinch salt

1/2 cup coarse sugar for coating (this is the purple sugar we used)

Instructions

These homemade sugar plums taste best if you toast the nuts ahead of time. To do so, spread the nuts on a sheet pan and bake at 350˚F for 6-7 minutes, until they smell fragrant and nutty. If you want to skip the toasting step, that's fine.

Chop all of the dried fruit finely. Add the fruit and nuts to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add all remaining ingredients (except sugar) and pulse again until the mixture is sticky and comes together.

Use a 1 tbsp cookie scoop to portion out the plums, then shape into an oval. Optional: use a toothpick to make an indentation on the front. Roll in sugar until well coated and (optional) stick a little rosemary sprig in the top as a stem. Enjoy!
