Preparation Steps

• In a food processor, combine the dried plums, toasted pecans, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Process until the mixture is finely chopped and starts to clump together.
• Add the water to the food processor and pulse until the mixture forms a cohesive dough. If it seems too dry, add another tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
• Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll the plum mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Then, roll each ball in the powdered sugar until evenly coated.
• Place the sugar plums on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them set for at least 30 minutes, or until firm. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
