- I got this from the EAT-L mailing list:
-
- Here's the long ago promised Rum Ball Recipe. I usually make it during
- the first week of December to give it enough time to cure. I do mail
- some out to friends in a tin, therefore I usually double or triple this
- recipe:
-
- Rum (or Bourbon) balls
-
- 2 Tablespoons cocoa
- Confectioner's sugar
- 2 1/2 Cups finely crushed vanilla wafers (most of a 12-oz box), easily
- crushed in a food processor or blender
-
- 1 Cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts
- 3 Tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1/4 Cup rum or bourbon
-
- Into a large bowl, sift the cocoa and 1 Cup of confectioner's sugar. Mix
- in remaining ingredients. Form the mixture into 1-inch balls with your
- hands. Sprinkle about 1 Cup confectioner's sugar on a plate and roll the
- balls in it to coat. Store in a tin for at least 1 week before giving
- them away. These cookies will mellow with age and will keep up to 1 month.
- They can also be wrapped in plastic wrap or foil, but this is very time
- consuming. Makes about 36.
