Apricot Dream Balls
This is a great little recipe that really reminds me of health bars that we get in Australia and since I live on the other side of the world now, this was a nice reminder of home. I tagged this recipe to make for a game I play on recipezaar because it sounded yummy. I was not disappointed it was easy to make and tasted great and because of the fact it was just the dried fruit it was overly sweet which we all loved.

Ingredients

300g Dried mixed fruit (called fruit medley in Australia a mix of dried diced apricot, apple and sultanas)

1/2 Cup desiccated coconut

Method

1. Place the fruit medley, dried apricots and coconut milk in a food processor and process until the mixture comes together.

2. Add a small amount extra coconut milk if needed for a rollable consistency.

3. Shape into balls and roll in the coconut. Refrigerate until firm.

Yields Approx 20-25 Balls
