Comment préparer Festive Sugar Plums Old Fashioned Sweetmeats

Combine 1 cup dried cranberries, 1/2 cup dried cherries, 1/4 cup raisins, 1/2 cup ground almonds, and 2 tablespoons finely chopped candied ginger in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped.
Add the zest of 1 large orange and mix well.
Stir in 2 tablespoons brandy (or orange juice) and pulse briefly until the mixture forms a cohesive dough.
In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon mixed spice.
Divide the fruit mixture into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a small ball.
Roll each ball in the spiced sugar to coat thoroughly.
Finely chop 1/4 cup pistachios and quarter 1/4 cup dried cherries. Press pistachio slivers and cherry pieces into the top of each sugar plum to resemble leaves and berries.
Place the sugar plums in small paper cases (optional) and store in an airtight container. Store for up to 4 weeks if made with brandy or up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator if made with orange juice.
