How to Make Apricot Balls

  1. Combine 1 cup pitted apricots (dried), 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, 1/4 cup honey, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a large bowl.
  2. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms. Roll the mixture into approximately 60 balls, each about the size of a teaspoon. (This may take a little time; the warmth of your hands will help.)
  3. Generously coat each ball in caster sugar. Set aside for a few minutes to allow the sugar to adhere.
  4. Serve and enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later.
