While this is a classic treat during Passover, any day is a good day to share these with your friends and family. They aren't difficult to make. We are lucky when we find organic and gluten-free matza in our local shops, but it isn't always possible. Try them...you'll love them!
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup Bee Wild raw honey
- 1/3 cup organic turbinado sugar
- 1 1/4 cups chopped organic walnuts
- 1/4 cup crumbled matza
- 2 tsp chopped organic orange rind
- 1/2 tsp organic cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped organic toasted nuts (optional)
- 1/2 cup toasted organic coconut (optional)
PREPARATION
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with organic cooking spray
- Bring honey and sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan, making a syrup
- Mix in the matza and walnuts. Make sure all the nuts and matza are covered with the syrup. This should be quite a thick mixture
- Mix in the orange peel and cinnamon
- Use two teaspoons to drop the mixture on the parchment paper
- Cool in your refrigerator for at least 10 minutes
- Oil your hands with olive oil and roll each drop into a ball
- If you like chopped nuts or coconut, you can roll the balls in either one or both
- Store the Honey Balls in the refrigerator until you want to serve them. Try to lay them flat on a cookie sheet without the honey balls touching until they set. They are very sticky
