Fruit And Spice Bonbons

• Each version makes 20 bonbons. To chop the fruit, use a heavy chef's knife or a food processor set on pulse.
• 2 cups finely chopped dried apricots
• 1/4 teaspoon allspice
• 1/8 teaspoon ginger
• 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 cups finely chopped dried red plums or prunes
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 2 cups finely chopped dried figs, stems removed first
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 cup crystal sugar, maple sugar, or unsweetened cocoa; or 1/4 cup ground chopped pecans, walnuts, or almonds

1. 1. Mix the dried fruit and spices with your hands until well combined.
2. 2. Scoop 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball about 1/2 inch in diameter. Repeat until the entire mixture has been used.
3. 3. Roll the balls in the sugar, cocoa, or nuts (or skip this part, if serving plain), and place them in paper mini-muffin cups. Serve or store airtight at room temperature for up to a week.
