This recipe comes from Saveur Magazine Issue# 39 December 2002. Used by permission by the editor. Ever wonder what a sugar plum is or tastes like. The contributor says he got the recipe from a biker in Queens, New York. Read more Hence the name Biker Bonbons. They taste kind of like fruit cake but please do not let this put you off. I have made these for family, friends and co-workers and they are delicious. See less
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole almonds shopping list
- 1/4 cup honey shopping list
- 2 tsp grated orange zest shopping list

How to make it
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange almonds on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in oven for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool, then finely chop.
- Meanwhile, combine honey, orange zest, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg in a medium mixing bowl. Add almonds, apricots, and dates 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 sugar, then refrigerate in single layer between sheets of waxed paper in airtight container(s) for up to 1 month. Their flavor improves after ripening for several days.
- Sugar Plums tend to absorb the powdered sugar, so redust just befor eating if you like.
