Energy Balls

2 oz dates, roughly chopped
2 oz prunes, roughly chopped
1 oz pumpkin seeds
1 oz walnuts
1 oz ground flaxseed
2 oz sultanas or raisins
2oz dried apricots, roughly chopped
approx 2 TBS water
approx 2 oz sesame seeds

Put the dates, prunes, pumpkin seeds, walnuts and flaxseed into food processor. Process until fruit is mashed & nuts & seeds are roughly chopped. Add raisins & apricots; process just until combined. Add just enough water to bind together (about 2 TBS) to make balls. Roll spoonfuls of mixture in sesame seeds until well coated. Makes about 20 small balls, or can be made into 10 larger balls. Chill.
* To make bars, stir the sesame seeds into the mixture & press into a tin lined with parchment paper or lightly greased tin. Chill. This amount fits into a 5"x 9" pan.

Number of Servings: 20
