Boil an ounce of sugar in two cupfuls of honey, and then add a quarter of a pound of finely-chopped almonds. After simmering for another five minutes add half a pound of chopped candied peel, the grated rind of a lemon, a teaspoon-ful of powdered cinnamon, a pinch of powdered cloves, half a nutmeg grated, as much bicarbonate of soda as will stand on a shilling, and a tablespoonful of rum. Add enough flour to stiffen, and after thoroughly mixing cut the paste into pieces about three inches square, and roll out very thin. Bake in a slow oven, and when cool sprinkle well with sifted sugar.
