Directions

  1. Place 1-1/4 cups almonds in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Remove almonds to a shallow bowl; reserve for coating.
  2. Add remaining 2-1/2 cups almonds to food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Add extract. While processing, gradually add honey. Remove to a large bowl; stir in apricots and cherries. Divide mixture into 6 portions; shape each into a 1/2-in.-thick roll. Wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour .
  3. Unwrap and cut rolls into 1-1/2-in. pieces. Roll half the pieces in reserved almonds, pressing gently to adhere. Roll remaining half in pistachios. If desired, wrap each piece individually in waxed paper, twisting ends to close. Store in airtight containers, layered between waxed paper if pieces are unwrapped.
