Ingredients

  • 2 cups - dried fruit/nut/seed combination - try using:
  • cranberries
  • raisins
  • raw, unsulphered, dried banana (not the fried variation you usually see- should appear brown and sticky, and will most likely have to cut them up.)
  • dates, chopped and pitted
  • cashews
  • walnuts
  • pumpkin seeds
  • sunflower seeds
  • 1/3 cup rice syrup
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • pinch of salt

Directions

Combine the fruit, seeds and nuts in a
bowl. The total quantity should equal
about 2 cups.

In separate bowl combine the rice
syrup, cornstarch and salt.
Fold rice syrup mixture into fruit and
nut medley. If proportions are
correct this should look just as
though the rice syrup/cornstarch
combination are merely serving as a
binder for the fruit and nuts.
Roll what you've just made into balls
and chill until stiff.
