Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the almonds evenly on a baking sheet and toast them for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are fragrant and golden.
- In a food processor, combine the toasted almonds, honey, orange zest, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pulse until the almonds are finely chopped and well combined, about 30 seconds.
- Add the dried prunes and dried cranberries to the almond mixture. Blend until the dried fruits are fully incorporated and the mixture holds together, about 30-45 seconds.
- Using a small ice cream scooper or your hands, scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into 1½-inch balls. Place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat evenly, adding a touch of sweetness and a glossy finish.
- Let the coated Sugar Plums sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to set. Store them in an airtight container.
