Remember the line about "sugarplums dancing in their heads" from The Night Before Christmas? What exactly is a sugarplum? Well, Kitchen Kapers has provided us the answer to that question.
Popular in the Victorian era, sugarplums were a sweet delicacy of dried fruits, nuts, and spices. Sort of a mini version of the ever present fruit cake that gets sent to unwitting recipients. Finely chopped, the ingredients form a stiff paste, perfect for rolling and molding into tiny plum-like shapes. A coating in sanding sugar adds a touch of holiday glitter and a whole clove "stem" completes the charming little morsels. They are low in fat and contain no wheat products, much to the delight of those who are gluten intolerant.
