Sugar Plums (Gift-giving)

• 12 cup dried apricot
• 12 cup chopped pecans
• 14 cup dried fig
• 14 cup golden raisin
• 14 cup flaked coconut
• 3 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur
• 14 cup sugar

1. Finely chop apricot, pecans, figs, raisins and coconut by hand or in a food processor.
2. Add liquer; blend well.
3. Shape into 1" balls by rolling between the palms of your hands.
4. Roll each ball in sugar.
5. Store in air-tight containers in the refrigerator between sheets of wax paper for up to 1 month.
6. To package: Place several sugar plums in a doily cone.
7. Arrange in a shallow basket and add a sprig of holly.
8. Add pretty bows or ribbon.
9. NOTE: I always double the recipe because I seem to roll the balls larger than 1" and do not yield 36 without doubling it and sometimes then I still do not get the full yield.
