Almond Date Balls

1 ½ cups almonds, soaked and dehydrated (or use dry, unsoaked)
½ cups walnuts, soaked and dehydrated (or use dry, unsoaked)
1 ½ cup dates
¼ teaspoon almond extract
½ cups dried cherries or raisins


Grind ½ cup of the almonds into a fine powder and set aside.

In a food processor outfitted with an S-blade, process remaining almonds and the walnuts until coarsely ground. Add the dates and almond extract and process until the mixture sticks together. Add the cherries or raisins and pulse to mix.

Form the mixture into tablespoon size balls and roll in the powdered almonds.

Refrigerate for 2 hours to set.
