ingredients

1 pound dried apricots
confectioners' sugar
25 shelled pistachios to decorate

directions

Do not soak or wash the apricots, or you will produce a cream. Put them as they are in the food processor and blend them to a smooth paste, adding a very little water, by the teaspoon if necessary.

Wash your hands and, wetting them or greasing them with a little oil so the paste does not stick, take little lumps of paste and roll into marble-sized balls. Roll them in confectioners' sugar and press half a pistachio on top of each.

Variations: Mix 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pistachios with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Make a small hole in the center of each apricot ball, put in a little of the filling, close the hole again, and roll in confectioners' sugar.

Work 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pistachios into the apricot paste with your hands.

  1. leftyg REVIEW:

    Went to a "Foods Around the World" potluck party and wanted to make something easy and Middle Eastern. Other than the labor involved in rolling out fifty little apricot balls, it was an easy, basic recipe. Unfortunately, they weren't "best sellers" at the party; there were about thirty leftover. But I thought they were tasty and different.
