  1. Mix and boil honey and molasses. Allow it to cool though

  2. Stir in the brown sugar, egg, lemon juice,and lemon rind.

  3. Shift together and stir in flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and nutmeg.

  4. Mix in the candied fruit and nuts.

  8. Place the cookies 1 inch apart on a greased cookie sheet.
