Ingredients

1 cup Blanched almonds
1 cup Toasted almonds
1 cup Dates
1 cup Raisins
50 g Butter
½ cup Honey

Directions

  1. Chop almonds, toasted walnuts, chopped pitted dates and raisins in a food processor until a sticky paste forms. This may need to be done in two batches.
  2. Melt butter and honey together in a saucepan. Add spices, then stir in the paste mixture. Stir over a gentle heat for a minute, until thoroughly combined.
  3. Remove to cool, then shape into 30 walnut-sized balls and chill for 1 hour to firm. Roll balls in sesame seeds to coat. Store in the fridge.
