5 minute video tutorial of the Christmas LIE we lovingly refer to as SUGAR PLUMS. On this week’s episode of the Julia Curated podcast (linked in bio) we deep dive into the history of these sweet treats only to find out they are the most talked about but least-eaten of the Holiday favorites. Tune in to find out more and watch this video if you would like a quick tutorial of how to make these delicious confectioneries.
(OG Recipe below is by K.C. from G FREE FOODIE)
½ cup prunes about 3.25 oz
½ cup walnuts toasted & coarsely chopped (about 2 oz)
¼ cup dates pitted & chopped (just over 1 oz, about 5) or dried figs
¼ cup dried cranberries about 1.25 oz
¼ cup hazelnut meal or almond meal* toasted (or hazelnut or almond flour)
2 Tablespoons apricot preserves or honey
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground cardamom
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
1 pinch fine sea salt
½ cup sugar I use coarse sugar for crunch
Directions
Put the chopped prunes, walnuts, dates and cranberries in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the ingredients are chopped into small, even pieces. Stop before the mixture becomes a ball.
- Add the toasted nut meal, apricot preserves, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and salt. Pulse several times (you may need to stop to scrape down the sides) until the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture will hold itself together when rolled into a ball. (You should still see some texture from the fruit & nuts.)
- Line a tray or container with wax or parchment paper. Scoop the mixture into heaping 1 tablespoon portions and roll into 1 inch balls, and place on the paper.
Lastly, Roll the sugarplums in the sugar just before serving.

Merry Christmas! At least, it is at the time of release!
I have, as of late, been revisiting some of my favorite Christmas classics: A Christmas Carol, Twas the Night Before Christmas, and The Nutcracker. The one seemingly insignificant thing they all have in common is the mention of plums in some shape or form. So! With plums on the brain, I have gotten my hands on a couple plum goodies to pair and share with you guys!
