100gm Medjool dates (pitted)
100gm dried apricots
50gm cranberry (dried)
75gm almonds (raw)

30gm shredded coconut
1 tbsp sesame seeds
Salt (pinch)
Method
In a food processor, pulse almonds and cashew nuts separately to a fine crumb, then transfer to a mixing bowl.
Cut the dried fruits into small pieces using scissors to make them easier to pulse in a food processor. If needed, add 1 – 2 tsp water.
Pulse apricots, dates and cranberry.
Add this mixture to the bowl along with sesame seeds, shredded coconut, and a pinch of salt.
Combine thoroughly until the mixture is well incorporated and holds together.
Using damp hands, shape the mixture into snack-sized balls.
Refrigerate until ready to eat.
The treats will remain fresh in the refrigerator for up to four weeks.
