Sticky Christmas Candy!

This is more of a fruitarian recipe-we are trying to eat more fruits in our diet as they are so good for you.

180 Ml (3/4 Cup) California Raisins
120 Ml (1/2 Cup) Desiccated Coconut
2 Tbsp Dried Cranberries
4 Dried, Pitted Dates
2 Chunks of Dried Mango (or a teaspoon or two if you need a measurement)
2 Tbsp Agave Nectar (or maple syrup or honey)
1 Tbsp Chopped Nuts (I used Pecans but any nut would do fine. Just be sure to rinse them before blending.)
1/4 tsp Ginger
Pinch of Cinnamon
Pinch of Allspice (optional)

Everything in the food processor at high speed. Use a teaspoon to scoop it into little balls. This would also make a good pie filling if you doubled the recipe or so; as it tastes sort of like mincemeat (for you in the States, mincemeat is not meat at all. It is a spicy-fruity filling used for pies and such). Enjoy, and Happy Holidays!
