Vanishing Fruit-Nut Balls

This recipe was posted in "Women of Spirit" magazine a few years back.  Although similar
to other raisin and date cookie balls, this one is unique because it has the added benefit
of orange rind to perk things up.  


   3/4 cup sunflower seeds
   3/4 cup pecans
   1 cup raisins, softened
   1 cup pitted dates
   2 Tbsp honey or maple syrup
   2 tsp grated orange rind


1. Grind sunflower seeds in dry blender.  

2. Chop pecans, raisins, and dates.  

3. Mix first four ingredients; add honey and orange rind and mix well.  

4. Roll into 1 inch (2.5 cm) balls. Cover with waxed paper and chill.
