Sweets made of dried fruits and nuts with your own hands

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients according to the list. At will and taste preferences, the set of products used can be changed. If the use of honey is contraindicated for health reasons, then it can not be added.

2. Step 2:

   

   Nuts, if they were purchased, are washed and dried. You should not fry them, otherwise most of the nutrients in the nuts will disappear. You can also use any nuts: walnuts, almonds, peanuts, you can add a handful of sunflower seeds. I used walnuts and pine nuts.

3. Step 3:

   

   Dried fruits, I used dried apricots, prunes and dates, wash them thoroughly, if there are bones in them, then we remove them, pour the dried fruits with boiling water and leave them for 15 minutes so that they swell well. Drain the water, dry the dried fruits. You can also take raisins, figs, they are sweeter, then honey does not need to be added.

4. Step 4:

   

   Put the cooked nuts and dried fruits in the blender bowl, grind them into a homogeneous mass. In order for nuts and dried fruits to be crushed better, pour a little cold boiled water into the blender bowl and scroll them a few more times. Instead of a blender, they can be scrolled on a meat grinder.

5. Step 5:

   

   Combine the mass of nuts and dried fruits with honey and mix thoroughly to get a homogeneous, thick and sticky mass. If you don't want to use honey for some reason, then you can do without it, it turns out quite sweet thanks to dried fruits.
