• 1 1/2 cups dried apricots
• 1/2 cup golden raisins
• 3/4 cup shelled pistachios
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon

NOTES

You will also need: Food processor

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.
