Sugar plums

The treat "visions of sugar plums" refers to in the classic poem weren't plums at all — they were rolled, spiced dried fruit and nut confections, sugared on the outside.

You'll need

• 1 cup dried dates, pitted
• 1 cup dried apricots
• ½ cup walnuts or pecans
• ½ tsp. cinnamon; granulated sugar for rolling

How to make them

1. Pulse the dates, apricots, nuts and cinnamon in a food processor until finely chopped and holding together.
2. Roll into small balls.
3. Roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat.
4. Store in an airtight container; they keep for a couple of weeks.
