Chop Fruit: In a food processor, chop all the pitted dates, sultana raisins, and currants until they are finely chopped and well combined. If you prefer, you can chop them by hand for a chunkier texture.
-
Add Walnuts and Liqueur: Once the fruits are chopped, add the walnuts and liqueur to the food processor. Process the mixture until everything is well combined and forms a sticky, uniform mixture. The liqueur adds a delightful flavor, but you can omit it if preferred.
-
Form Balls: Using a teaspoon, scoop out about 1 teaspoon of the mixture at a time and roll it between your palms to form small balls. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used up, making approximately 24 balls.
-
Coat in Coconut: Place the unsweetened flaked coconut in a shallow bowl. Roll each ball in the coconut until it’s evenly coated, giving them a lovely snowy appearance.
-
Serve: Arrange the Sugarplums on a serving plate or in small paper candy wrappers for a festive touch. They’re now ready to be enjoyed!
-
Storage: These Sugarplums can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for several days. They also make wonderful homemade gifts during the holiday season.
Tips:
- Feel free to customize these Sugarplums by adding different nuts or dried fruits according to your taste preferences.
- If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, you can substitute the liqueur with orange juice or water.
- Make sure to use unsweetened flaked coconut to balance out the sweetness of the fruits.
- Get creative with presentation by dusting the finished Sugarplums with powdered sugar or edible glitter for an extra festive touch.
