I completely agree! Rhythm and quick reactions are what make games like this so engaging.

I write cookbooks, talk about food on CBC Radio and write about it in the Globe + Mail (and other places!), love feeding people. 🏳️‍🌈

In last weekend’s Globe and Mail, I wrote about sugarplums - confections made of dried fruit and nuts popularized by Clement Clarke Moore’s nineteenth century poem, A Visit from St. Nicholas, can be blitzed up in the food processor in a few minutes, rolled into balls and be ready to go. They’re the ultimate cupboard-cleaner: rummage through your pantry for dried or candied fruit, nuts, seeds, nut or seed butter, cocoa and preserves — anything from honey to marmalade to mincemeat, aiming for a combination of sticky, dry and gooey ingredients that blended together, will create a moist mixture you can squeeze into a ball.

You really don’t need a recipe for these — no need to measure.

Sugarplums

a handful or two of dried fruit, such as dates, figs (stems trimmed), apricots, raisins, cherries
a smaller handful of nuts and/or seeds (salted or not)
a shake of coconut, if you have (and like) it
a big spoonful of peanut or almond butter or tahini
a drizzle (or another big spoonful) of honey or maple or golden syrup, or sticky sweet preserves such as jam, marmalade or mincemeat
a smaller spoonful of cocoa
a bit of grated orange zest (optional)
1/4 tsp almond or vanilla extract (optional)
a shake of cinnamon (optional)

coarse sugar, shredded coconut or cocoa, for rolling

Combine everything in the bowl of a food processor, chopping any larger dried fruit into smaller pieces, and pulse until well-blended and you have a mixture that is moist and sticky enough that it holds its shape when you squeeze it together, but not so sticky that it makes a mess of your hands. If it’s too sticky, add some dry ingredients, like cocoa, dry oats, cereal or dry cookies. If the mixture is too dry, add something moist, like a drizzle of honey or a bit more nut butter.

Place some coarse sugar or cocoa into a shallow dish. Roll the fruit and nut mixture into about 1-inch balls and roll in sugar or cocoa to coat. Place on a serving plate or in individual paper cups. Store covered at room temperature. Makes as many as you like.

Sugarplums, take 1 🙄 I wrote about these for last

I wrote about these for last weekend‘s Globe and Mail! I will post a photo on my regular Instagram feed so you can see what they actually look like!

Sugarplums

You really don’t need a recipe for these — start with some dried fruit and go from there, blitzing any combination of ingredients that will wind up moist enough to hold its shape when squeezed into a ball. No need to measure.
