Lemon Balls

Lemon Balls

Yield: 16

1 cup dried pineapple pieces (low sugar)
1 cup golden raisins
3/4 cup raw cashew pieces
1/8 teaspoon lemon zest or lemon extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup fine coconut

1. Put all ingredients except coconut in food processor.  Whiz for about 1 minute.  At first the ingredients will remain crumbly and separate; then they will begin to stick together in a ball.  Continue whizzing about 15 more seconds to chop and blend together.

2.  Place fine coconut in a bowl.  Scoop out fruit mixture a tablespoon at a time and shape into a ball with your hands, then roll in coconut and place balls in a flat storage container.  Chill before serving.

Tip: A small (4-ounce) ice-cream scoop works great for this! Scoop out and release into the coconut.  Shape balls as you roll them in the coconut.

Variation:  Try other dried fruits or nuts, such as dried apricots, cranberries, cherries, dates, almonds, or walnuts.

Makes about 16 1-inch balls.
