Apple and Date Balls

Ingredients:
pears, raw
dates, deglet noor
apple juice, canned or bottled, unsweetened, without added ascorbic acid
spices, cinnamon, ground
nuts, walnuts, english

Directions:
Halve and core the unpeeled fruit and place in a large, heavy saucepan.
Caste iron is good.
Add the dates, apple juice and ground cinnamon.
Cook over very low heat, stirring occasionally for 4 to 6 hours, or until the mixture forms a dry paste.
Scrape into a bowl and cool, then roll the mixture into bite size balls.
Toast the nuts under the broiler until golden.
Coat the balls in the nuts.
Twist each ball into a candy wrapper or cellophane; plastic wrap can be used.
Store in an airtight container.
Variation: Use half ground cinnamon and half ground ginger instead of the 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
