Fruit, Nut & Rum balls

Child participation is a very regular occurance in our kitchen.

It's always great when I can find something for them to really help with.

Here, Little Pipkin is snipping up apricots ready to be soaked.

(They're dark in colour because they're organic and suphur free)

Today we're making Apricot & Coconut balls, an adapted recipe from this wonderful little book about healthy snacks and treats.
