The Friendly Vegetarian - Welcome :)

 
I am vegetarian and have been vegetarian for many years. Most of my closest friends and family are not vegetarian, yet they eat vegetarian meals more often because I am in their lives. WELCOME to my Friendly Vegetarian blog. Will you welcome me and my blog into your life? Come and read, chat & eat vegetarian with me...

Apricot and Coconut Balls

April 19th 2008 08:52
Maybe I have an obsession with sugar, or suuuugggaaar. At any rate, I seem to be suffering from sweet-tooth cravings at the moment and discovered these apricot and coconut balls. Bless 'em, you can also shape the mix into a log and cut into little pieces, which can be kept in a container in the fridge for sweet-afternoon-treats. Or so I've heard.

Apricots will also give you a health boost - with dietary fibre, vitamin A, beta-carotene and antioxidants!

Dried Apricots and Nuts



Apricot and Coconut Balls

What you need:

1 1/2 cups dried apricots
1 cup orange juice
zest of one lemon
juice of one lemon
1 1/2 cups flaked or dessicated coconut
1 cup chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts or almonds...)
raw sugar

What to do:

Put apricots and orange juice in a small pot and bring to the boil. Remove from heat and cover, then leave for ten minutes so that apricots absorb the juice. Drain, then place apricots in blender with coconut and nuts. Pulse blend until mixture is fine. Add zest and lemon juice. Remove from blender and shape into balls or log. Roll lightly in sugar and a little dessicated coconut. If mixture seems dry, add more OJ.
