Author Notes: Variations of these delectable sugared fruits have been around for generations - remember the Sugar Plum Fairy from The Nutcracker ballet and the visions of sugar plums from the classic "Twas the Night Before Christmas." Now you can make your own!
Ingredients: 1/2 cup dried apricots
1/2 cup pecans
1/3 cup angel flaked coconut
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup dried apples
2 tablespoons any fruit liqueur
confectioner's sugar
Instructions:

Makes About 32 Sugar plums

In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, finely chop the apricots, pecans, coconut, raisins, and dried apples. With the motor running, add the desired liqueur and blend the mixture for 5 seconds. Form the mixture into 3/4 inch balls, pressing each candy firmly into shape. Sift confectioner's sugar into a bowl and roll the sugar plums in the sugar to coat them evenly. Store in an airtight container. They can be kept for up to 2 weeks at room temperature or can be frozen for several months.
