Calories 103kcal
Ingredients
- 10 oz Fruit Bliss French Plums (2 5oz packs) About 2 ½ cups
- ½ cup pecans (toasted, optional)
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for dusting
- 1 teaspoon finely cut dried orange peel
- ¾ teaspoon ground clove
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon table salt
- ¼-1/2 cup granulated sugar or raw sugar
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine all of the ingredients except the sugar. Pulse until everything is combined, but not completely pureed.
- Spread a piece of parchment paper over a plate or baking sheet and spoon 13 1" spoonfuls onto the parchment. Like you would with cookies. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Place the sugar onto a shallow dish so that you can roll the balls into the sugar to coat them. Roll a ball with the palms of your hands and then roll it in the sugar with your finger tips. Repeat with all the spoonfuls. You want these to stay cold, so try not to over roll them. They should conform to a ball easily. Serve immediately.
Notes
The sugar on these sugar plums can dissolve very quickly, especially if you are using granulated sugar. You may need several coats of sugar to keep them dry on the outside and dusted.
