Fruit Balls Recipes

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix cream cheese, fruit cocktail and instant pudding.
• Add 1/4 cup almonds, if desired.
• Mix very well.
• Shape into one large ball or two smaller bolls and roll in remaining almonds.
• Chill to set.
• Serve with crackers.

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients except the 3 ounce box of gelatin. Cover mixture and place in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, roll mixture into strawberry shapes.
• Place the 3 ounce box of gelatin in a plate, and roll the shaped strawberries in the gelatin until coated. Place bits of mint leaves to create the stems; secure the stems with a piece of toothpick.

Steps:

• Combine the dried dates, figs and cranberries in a medium microwave-safe bowl; add 2 tablespoons rum and the butter. Microwave in 1-minute intervals, stirring, until the dried fruit is softened and the butter is melted, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
• Toast the pecans in a small dry skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool, then coarsely chop.
• Combine the graham crackers, crystallized ginger, candied lemon peel, molasses, cinnamon, allspice and salt in a food processor. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon rum, the pecans and the dried-fruit mixture (with any liquid from the bowl). Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped and holds together when squeezed. (If the mixture is dry, add a little water just until it holds together.)
• Roll tablespoonfuls of the mixture into balls and arrange on a baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Put the sanding sugar on a plate. Roll the balls in the sugar to coat.

Steps:

• Mix all together, roll into balls, then in coconut.

Steps:

• Finely chopped sultanas, dates and apricots and place them in a mixing bowl. Mix well.
• Add cinnamon and mix well.
• Add enough condensed milk (roughly a tablespoon) to make it sticky so the fruit sticks together more easily.
• Place a teaspoon of mixture in palm of hand and mould/squish/squeezing mixture into a small ball.
• Place desiccated coconut on plate and roll balls in desiccated coconut, coating the whole ball.
• Store in refrigerator until your ready to use.
• Enjoy.
