Apricot jujubes

1 batch

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
8 ounces Dried apricots
Approximately 1/2 teacup icing sugar
1 tablespoon Ground coriander
2 OR
3 tablespoons Rum or brandy
Shelled pistachio nuts

Directions

Use soft, preferably sun-dried apricots. The authors feel that Iranian, Afghani or Israeli are the best.

Put the apricots through a mincer or food processor until they are finely chopped. Place in a mixing bowl, add the icing sugar slowly, a little at a time, and knead with your hands until it is fairly stiff. Add the coriander and rum or brandy. The mixture should be moist but not sloppy. Shape into marble-sized balls, roll in the remaining icing sugar and place a peeled pistachio nut in the center of each ball. Leave overnight to dry and then store in airtight tins or boxes. Put them in individual paper cases if you have any.
