Dear Greg, Want to make your own? * 1 cup raisins * 1 cup bite-size pitted prunes * 1 cup dates * 1 cup currants * 1 cup candied cherries, dried cherries, or dried cranberries * 1 cup walnuts * 1/2 to 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar * granulated sugar
Using a meat grinder or a food processor, grind the fruit and nuts and mix well. Work into the mixture as much confectioners' sugar as it takes to form 1-inch balls. Roll in granulated sugar, then place on a rack to dry for 24 hours.
Dear Elwood, Well, prunes are just geezer plums: ones that have become old, dried up and wrinkled (and believe me, as a once plum, now prune myself, I KNOW how that feels.) Merry Christmas

Shouldn't we be dancing or something?
What are "Sugarplums"?
I don't know what's scarier: robots taking over the world, or sugar plums taking over the world.
Will people with a high blood sugar level be the first to fall?

What I want to know is why there are NO PLUMS in sugarplums?
Dear Elwood,
Well, prunes are just geezer plums: ones that have become old, dried up and wrinkled (and believe me, as a once plum, now prune myself, I KNOW how that feels.)
Merry Christmas
I, for one, welcome our new Sugar Plum overlords
