- raisins - 100 g;
- dried oranges or apricots - 15 pcs;
- white chocolate - 70 g.
Preparation
- To make homemade dried fruit candies, you'll need an apple (it’s better to take a sour apple), seedless raisins, dried apricots, dried peaches, or dried oranges, and white chocolate.
- It’s advisable to take soft raisins for making candies. They must be seedless. Pick through the raisins one by one to avoid spoiled fruits. Also, dried fruits may have stems, which we discard. Wash the picked raisins in cool water, then place them in a colander. Pour boiling water over the raisins in the colander. Wait until all the water drains from the raisins, then place the raisins on a plate to dry.
- Take a sweet-and-sour apple. After washing the apple, peel it.
- Cut the apple into 4 pieces, removing the seeds along with the tough sections.
- Cut the quarters of the apple into small slices. Place the apple slices in the microwave for 3 minutes. If you prefer not to use the microwave, you can steam the apple slices in a saucepan with 1 tablespoon of water until the apple is softened.
- Mash the softened apple in a blender. Wash the dried apricots in cold water, then pour boiling water over them like the raisins. After that, chop the apricots and raisins into small pieces with a knife. Once all the ingredients are prepared, we start forming the candies. Mix all the components.
- Moisten your hands with water and roll the mixture into balls the size of walnuts. Place the prepared balls in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Now take a bar of white chocolate. Grate the chocolate on a fine grater. Roll the fruit balls in the fluffy grated white chocolate after taking them out of the fridge. The dessert, sprinkled with chocolate shavings, is sent back to the cold for 1 hour.
- The homemade dried fruit candies are ready; as you can see, they are made from simple, accessible ingredients and will please everyone.
Treat yourself and your kids to a healthy and very delicious treat.
