Sugarplums! (How to Make This Christmas Classic)

Yes, sugarplums are an actual thing. I had never eaten these until my guy made them the first Christmas we were together. Now I need a bottomless supply every holiday season... Amazingly bright & flavourful, they're a refreshing break from all the rich baked goods during this time of year. Plumb in old English used to encompass any & all dried fruit (think plum pudding.) Sugarplums were originally whole candied plums but have come to signify any concoction of dried fruits rolled into balls then coated in coarse sugar or fine coconut. This recipe is our favorite; the combination of clementines, candied ginger, dried apricots & cranberries is truly a Christmas explosion in your mouth! Try to find organic dried cranberries; the difference is like night and day. Red glacé cherries can also be used in their place if you don't mind all the sugar & food colouring. Adapted from the Canadian Living Christmas Book circa 1993. The amount shown is double the recipe below. You'll need:

250g dried apricots, cut into strips
1 tsp clementine zest
1/3c clementine juice
2T honey
50g candied ginger, diced
1/2T apricot brandy (optional)
2T dried cranberries, finely chopped
medium unsweetened coconut

In a small heavy saucepan, combine apricots, tangerine zest, juice & honey. Cover & bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low & cook, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes or until very tender & shiny. Uncover & cook, stirring, 3-4 minutes longer or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat; stir in ginger & apricot brandy, if using. Let cool slightly

Transfer to food processor; purée until smooth. Transfer to a bowl & stir through the chopped dried cranberries. Cover & chill at least 30 minutes or overnight.

Place coconut in a wide bowl. Drop in teaspoonfuls of the apricot mixture ensuring each is covered with coconut. Using hands, shape into balls. Place on a parchment lined baking tray. Cover loosely with parchment paper & let stand for 2 days in a cool, dry place. They improve with age, really best after about a week of air drying.
