Super rich, spiced (& boozy) rum balls.
My family's Christmas lunch this year is catering for an ovo-vegetarian, two coeliacs and a diabetic. After a whole lot of pondering what desserts might be safe for everyone, and a few experimental recipes, I settled on these easiest and Christmas-iest little things that are amazingly good.
They remind me of traditional Christmas cakes and puddings, loaded with dried fruit and spices and alcohol, but they're a tad healthier and a whole lot quicker to make.

Step 2
Let the cake(s) dry out a bit (I waited about an hour after they had cooled), then pulse in a food processor to make cake crumbs.
While the cake is cooling/drying, soak your fruit in rum. For every cup of crumbs you have, you'll need a half cup of fruit and 1/4 cup of rum. -
Step 3
Blend together the fruit, the rum it soaked in and about a teaspoon of mixed spice for every cup of crumbs used with the cake cumbs. Everything should come together and be nice and sticky.
