Fruity Pebbles
3 cups mixed dried fruits
1 cup chopped pecans
grated rind of 1 lemon
1/2 cup toasted wheat germ, plus more for rolling
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons chocolate-orange liqueur (optional)
Chop the fruits in a food processor to blend. (If they are very dry, soak them first in some warm water until soft, then drain.) Combine the fruit mixture with the remaining ingredients. Shape into small (½") balls and roll in additional toasted wheat germ. If you have extra nuts, you can use finely ground pecans for rolling instead of the wheat germ.
Yield: 40-50 small balls
