Ahh, Christmas baking!<\/p>\n

This past month I have had 3 jobs, a child learning to walk\u00a0(wow; childproofing is not even possible!), a couple craft fairs and an Epicure show! \u00a0It’s been busy! \u00a0But now it is time to start my Christmas baking, and Grandma’s recipes are definitely not short on Christmas desserts!<\/p>\n

Up first are her Apricot Coconut Balls. \u00a0I am not certain that she served them at Christmas-time; but they look like lovely little snowballs, and are very simple to make!<\/p>\n

If you do not have a food processor to grind the apricots; use a knife with a bit of butter or lard on it (helps the apricots not to stick) – and don’t worry about slightly larger apricot chunks, it will still be delicious!<\/p>\n
