Preparation

Step 1

Trim stems from figs and cut them in half.

In a food processor, pulse the figs, almonds, cocoa and cinnamon, until minced. Add the honey, orange zest and extract. Pulse until well combined.

Place some sugar in a shallow dish.
Roll the sugar plum mixture into bite-sized balls, then roll them in sugar to coat.

Note: can substitute other dried fruit. Also try maple syrup, adjusting quantity to achieve desired texture.
