Description
A nice spice with candied fruit. The original recipe came from 1001 cookie recipe but over the years i have made a few changes. My family gives out cookies at christmas time and this is one of the standard cookies. When i make them i use the candied fruit from our local spice importer. You may want to chop the fruit a little more.
