Title: Festive Fruit & Nut Balls
Categories: Desserts, Snacks, Fruits, Nuts
Yield: 10 Servings

3/4 c Sugar
1/2 c Dried cranberries
1/2 c Pitted and snipped dates
2 lg Eggs, beaten
1/3 c Chopped unsalted pistachios
1/3 c Chopped walnuts
1/3 c Chopped pecans
1 ts Rum extract
3/4 c Shredded coconut

Combine sugar, cranberries, dates and eggs in a medium
saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly,
until the mixture thickens, is pale yellow in color,
registers at least 170┬║F/77┬║C on an instant-read
thermometer and when a spoon is pulled through it, it
leaves a clear trail. This will take 6 to 14 minutes,
depending on the heat of your stoveΓÇÖs medium setting.

Remove from the heat; stir in pistachios, walnuts, pecans
and rum extract. Let stand until cool enough to handle,
about 45 minutes.

With damp or lightly oiled hands, form the mixture into 1"
balls (about 1 generous teaspoon each). Roll each ball in
coconut. Place the finished balls on a baking sheet lined
with wax paper and store in the refrigerator.
