Recipe: Fruit Bon Bons
Ingredients:
– 1 cup mixed dried fruits (such as apricots, cherries, and cranberries)
– 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or walnuts)
– 1/4 cup honey
– 1 tablespoon orange zest
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Instructions:
1. In a food processor, combine the mixed dried fruits, chopped nuts, honey, orange zest, and vanilla extract. Pulse the mixture until it forms a sticky dough-like consistency.
2. Using your hands, roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
3. In a small bowl, sift the powdered sugar. Roll each chilled fruit ball in the powdered sugar until evenly coated. Place the coated bon bons back on the baking sheet.
4. In another small bowl, add the granulated sugar. Roll each bon bon in the granulated sugar for a shiny finish. Return the bon bons to the baking sheet and let them set in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
5. Once set, arrange the Fruit Bon Bons on a serving platter and garnish with fresh mint leaves or a sprinkle of extra powdered sugar for a touch of elegance.
