These no-bake fig and almond balls are a sweet, spiced confection, packed with dried fruit and a hint of brandy. They come together quickly in a food processor, then need a week to dry out, making them a good make-ahead treat. Once dried, they'll keep for months in a cool spot.

01
Process Almonds and Figs
First, whizz the almonds in a food processor until they're mostly finely chopped, then tip them into a large bowl. You want some texture here, not a powder.
Next, roughly chop the figs and return them to the food processor. Whizz until they form a smooth, sticky paste. Scrape this paste onto the chopped almonds, then use your hands to mix everything together with the dried apricots, cranberries, brandy, honey, and cloves until well combined.
