Toast slivered almonds.

Toast anise, fennel, and caraway seeds.

Combine almonds, dried plums, dried apricots, and dried figs in a food processor.

Pulse until finely chopped, but not a ball.

In a separate bowl, combine powdered sugar, toasted anise seeds, toasted fennel seeds, toasted caraway seeds, ground cardamom, and kosher salt.

Add the nut and fruit mixture and honey.

Mix using gloved hands until well combined.

Scoop the mixture into 1/4-ounce portions.

Roll into balls.

If serving immediately, roll in the coarse sugar and serve.

If not serving immediately, put the balls on a cooling rack and leave uncovered until ready to serve.

Roll in the coarse sugar prior to serving.

Store on the cooling rack for up to a week or in an airtight container for up to a month.
