Preparation

  1. In a small bowl, combine the pomegranate juice and cinnamon.
  2. Combine the dates, apricots, cherries, almonds, and pistachios in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse together until mixture is coarsely combined. Add the cinnamon-juice mixture and process until the mixture forms a smooth, sticky paste. Add more juice, a teaspoon at a time, if the paste does not stick together.
  3. Spread the coconut flakes on a large plate or jelly roll pan. Roll the dough, 1 heaping tablespoon at a time into a ball; roll in the coconut to coat evenly. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
