Soak the dates and raisins in hot water for 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 150. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
Drain fruit and transfer to a food processor. The recipe instructs coarsely ground, but I think it’s better pureed. Add maple syrup, vanilla, orange zest, and orange juice. Pulse to combine. Transfer to large bowl.
Put the cashews, sunflowers seeds, almonds, and pecans in the food processor and pulse until broken up. Add to the date mixture, along with pumpkin seeds and coconut. Mix with hands. Spread mixture on two baking sheets and bake for 2 hours until crisp.
