Kuglice od smokava

Kuglice od smokava is a traditional dessert originating from the Dalmatia region. Although there are many recipes, it's usually made with a combination of dried figs, sugar, orange juice and zest, rum, and ground walnuts. The figs are ground twice and mixed with sugar, orange juice and zest, rum, and walnuts.

The mixture is worked into a homogenous mass and shaped into walnut-sized balls. The balls are rolled in sugar and served in small paper cups or holders in order to dry a bit more before they're enjoyed as a sweet afternoon treat.
