This recipe takes a traditional Passover treat, and gives it a little twist. Here, dried fruit and nuts are chopped in a food processor, flavored with cinnamon and moistened with a bit of pomegranate juice for a Sephardic version of the recipe. They're rolled into balls, and dusted with unsweetened coconut. Feel free to substitute any dried fruit or nuts you'd like.

Time 20m

Yield About 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon pomegranate juice, more as needed
4 grams ground cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
186 grams pitted dates (3/4 cup), coarsely chopped
180 grams dried apricots (1/2 cup), coarsely chopped
38 grams dried cherries (1/4 cup)
33 grams raw sliced almonds (1/4 cup)
66 grams raw pistachios (1/2 cup)
76 grams unsweetened shredded coconut (1 cup)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the pomegranate juice and cinnamon.
  • Combine the dates, apricots, cherries, almonds, and pistachios in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse together until mixture is coarsely combined. Add the cinnamon-juice mixture and process until the mixture forms a smooth, sticky paste. Add more juice, a teaspoon at a time, if the paste does not stick together.
  • Spread the coconut flakes on a large plate or jelly roll pan. Roll the dough, 1 heaping tablespoon at a time into a ball; roll in the coconut to coat evenly. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
