Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Pour juice over dates and let soak for 5 minutes.
Place almonds, dried apricots, and dried plums in food processor and pulse a few times until coarsly chopped. Add salt and dates with orange juice and pulse until mixture starts to pull together. Add pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds, pulsing a few times just to incorporate.

Arrange pieces about an inch apart on parchment lined baking sheet. Bake 8-16 min. per side depending on how moist or dry you want them. Store in airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze them.
