Sugarplums

Sugarplums are candies made from dried fruits, honey, and spices,
rolled into balls, then rolled in sugar.  A plum is an old
fashioned word for dried fruit - as in the traditional Christmas
dessert plum pudding.  

1/4 c honey
2 tsp grated orange peel
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice
1/2 sp nutmeg

2 c finely chopped toasted almonds
1 c finely chopped dried apricots
1 c finely chopped dates

Mix well honey, orange peel, cinamon, allspice and nutmeg.  Stir
in almonds, apricots and dates.

Roll into tablespoon size balls, roll in sugar or powdered sugar
to coat.  Store airtight.
