4 eggs
4 tablespoons salad oil
1 pound dark honey
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp powdered ginger
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl. Make a well inthe
center and drop the eggs and oil into it. Work into the flourand mix until
a dough is formed. Break off pieces of dough and rollinto pencil- thick
strips. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces and place on alightly greased cookie
sheet. Bake in a 350 F oven for 20 minutes or until browned. Shake pan
once or twice. Cool. Cook the honey, brown sugar, ginger and nutmeg for
15 minutes. Dropthe baked dough into it and cook for 5 minutes. Add the
nuts andcook 10 minutes additional, stirring frequently. Test the
mixtureby dropping a little on a wet surface; if it holds together,
it'sdone; if not, cook until it does. Turn out onto a wet board and
letcool until easy enough to handle. Then shape into 3-inch ballsbetween
moistened hands. Decorate with the candied cherries, if youwish.
