- (Makes about 75 cookies) shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Arrange almonds on a baking sheet in a single layer and toast in oven for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool, then finely chop.
- While almonds are baking, combine honey, orange zest, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg in a medium mixing bowl.
- Add chopped almonds, apricots, and dates to honey mixture and mix well.
- Pinch off rounded teaspoon-size pieces of the mixture and roll into balls. (Rinse your hands often, as mixture is very sticky.)
- Roll balls in confectioner's sugar, then refrigerate in single layers between sheets of waxed paper in airtight containers for up to one month.
- Their flavor improves after ripening for several days.
- Sugar plums tend to absorb the confectioner's sugar, so re-dust just before eating if you like.
