Raisin/Craisin Nut Balls

2 cups raw walnuts
1 1/4 cup raisins
1 cup Craisins (dried cranberries)
1/4 cup hemp nuts (shelled)
1/4 to 1/2 cup raw sesame seeds as needed

Combine first 4 ingredients in a food processor and process till well blended and moist. This may take several minutes. You may see the mixture form a ball and it will look like there's "juice" in the food processor bowl.

Form balls with the processed mixture making sure that they are compact and press together tightly. Put a small portion of the sesame seeds in a bowl and coat all sizes of each ball with a single layer of sesame seeds. Continue to make additional balls until all the mixture is used up while adding additional amounts of sesame seeds to the bowl as necessary to coat each ball. Refrigerate at least an hour before serving and keep left overs in the refrigerator.
