Sugar Plums

Place walnuts and apple juice into a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours, until slightly softened. Drain apple juice and place walnuts into a food processor. Add spices, zest, lemon juice, dried fruit, honey and coconut. Mix until a puree is formed.

Combine powdered sugar and crushed pistachios in a bowl and mix until evenly distributed.

Remove about 1 tablespoon fruit mixture and roll into a small ball. Place on waxed paper. Repeat with remaining mixture. With clean hands, roll each ball in sugar mixture, then roll in hands to evenly coat. Place onto a plate. Repeat with all balls.

Refrigerate sugar plums for about 1 hour prior to serving. Store in the refrigerator.
