      Title: FIG GEMS
 Categories: Desserts, Candies, Fruits
      Yield: 1 Batch
 
     20    California dried figs
    1/2 c  Seeded raisins
      1 c  Pecan meats
    1/2 c  Confectioners' sugar
      3 tb Peanut butter
    1/2 c  Strained honey
 
  Warm your food grinder.  With medium blade, grind figs, raisins and nuts.
  Stir together with sugar and peanut butter.  Add honey to soften enough to
  make fruit pliable.  With your hands, make balls the size of small walnuts,
  and roll in confectioners' sugar.  Place on a pretty plate or tray,
  surround them with figs stuffed with candied cherries or nut halves, for
  festive (but fast disappearing) centerpiece.
