My favorite kitchen tool that really comes in handy for this task is a Granite Mortar & Pestle. I actually purchased mine overseas, but this looks almost EXACTLY like the one that I have. It is perfect for crushing and grinding spices and dried fruit. I use mine quite often as I enjoy creating new recipes!
