Tips:
- Choose high-quality dried fruits that are plump and moist. Avoid dried fruits that are hard or brittle, as they will not blend well.
- If your dried fruits are hard, you can soften them by soaking them in warm water for 15-30 minutes before blending.
- Use a food processor or high-powered blender to blend the dried fruits until they are smooth and sticky. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl a few times during blending.
- Add other ingredients, such as nuts, seeds, or spices, to the blended dried fruits to create different flavor combinations.
- Roll the blended mixture into balls and coat them in your choice of coating, such as shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or cocoa powder.
- Store the dried fruit balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
