1 cup raisins
1 cup bite-size pitted prunes
1 cup pitted dates
1 cup currants
1 cup candied cherries, dried cherries or dried cranberries
1 cup walnuts
1/2 to 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
Granulated sugar

Using a food processor, grind the fruit and nuts and mix well. Work into the mixture as much confectioners' sugar as it takes to form 1-inch balls. Roll balls in granulated sugar and refrigerate in single layers between sheets of wax paper in airtight containers for up to 1 month.
