Turkish Delight Snack Bites

Ingredients
15 dates
10 unsulphured apricots (get the brown, not the bright orange ones)
1 c. almonds
1/4 tsp. cardamom
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
2 T. white sesame seeds
3-4 T. water
1 T. extra virgin olive oil

1. In a food processor, puree the dates, apricots, and almonds.
2. Pulse the spices, sesame seeds, olive oil, and enough water to make the mixture just barely cling together. The moistness of the dates will dictate how much water you need. Remember to pulse and not to puree or you'll lose the pretty sesame seeds.
3. Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture out and roll into balls. I press the spoon against the side of the food processor to compact the mixture and make it easier to shape.
4. Eat immediately or leave out on the counter to firm up a bit. Toss in the fridge to firm if you want.
