Instructions

Lightly toast the walnuts and hazelnuts in a dry pan for 4 to 5 minutes, until fragrant, then roughly chop them.
Put the raisins in a bowl, cover with hot water and let them plump for 10 minutes, then drain.
In a saucepan, heat the sugar with the water and lemon juice until you get a light syrup that starts to thicken, about 5 minutes over medium heat.
Add the drained raisins and chopped nuts to the syrup, then stir for 2 minutes to coat them well.
Remove from the heat, stir in the vanilla and cinnamon, then let cool for 10 minutes.
Using two wet spoons, shape small balls or little logs and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Let cool completely so the syrup sets slightly, then store in an airtight container.
