Fruit Confections

1. 1

   (My favorite combination is Orange Juice with Dates and Walnuts, but also good with Cranberries and Pecans, or use mango juice with dried pineapples and macadamia nuts for a tropical taste.) Grind nuts and then also mince dried fruit very, very finely in blender or food processor.

2. 2

   Set aside.

3. 3

   Mix together melted margerine/butter, vanilla, juice and confectioners' sugar.

4. 4

   Stir in ground nuts and fruit.

5. 5

   Stir in as much of the flour as needed to make a fairly stiff dough.

6. 6

   Turn dough out onto floured board and knead a few times to make sure all flour is integrated.

7. 7

   Will be VERY sticky.

8. 8

   Roll with floured rolling pin to about 1/2 inch thick (or as thick as desired) Cut into squares or diamonds with butter knife.

9. 9

   Roll each square or diamond in powdered sugar.

10. 10

    Let sit in cool spot or refrigerator until dry.
