Christmas errr.... fruity balls?

No idea what it is called, but I love the idea the teachers got the kids to make. So I went to buy the ingredients, the main one being this:



Any dark fruit cake, white chocolate buttons, glazed cherries. The way to do it, very easy. Chop up the fruit cake, add small amount of orange juice, or brandy if you prefer, to make it moist, and roll them into balls.



Like this.



I made a little boo-boo by adding a tad too much orange juice, so I put them into the oven at 150C for about 10 minutes to dry them up a bit. Then melt the white chocolate buttons, cut up the cherries, and the end result? Looks like this!



Anjua? Eh sai?



Not bad eh, as little gifts? :)
