Fruit & Nut mini bites topped with orange icing

Ingredients

• 280g mixed dried fruit soaked overnight in the juice of half an orange (and a little sloe gin!) - we used dates, raisins, sultanas & cranberries
• 250g toasted nuts, whizzed in a processor until ground (or leave a little texture if you like) - we used mainly almonds & pecans
• 1 orange (zested & juiced) - zest first then use half the juice to soak the dried fruit and the other half to make the icing
• 1 lemon (just zest)
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• a good grating nutmeg
• 150g icing sugar, sifted
• a good squeeze orange juice
