Form Teri Lashier

1 cup honey
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
Grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon almond flavoring
1/2 teaspoon rosewater
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon soda (mix with the flour)
3 cups flour
1 1/2 cups mixed citrus (orange & lemon peel)
1 1/2 cups blanched almonds

Grind fruit peel and almonds. Bring honey, butter and sugar to a boil. Add other ingredients while quite warm. Chill over night or several days. Roll 1/8 inch think and bake in moderate oven. (325°F 15-20 minutes.)

While warm, glaze with powdered sugar mixed with enough hot water to make a very thin mixture. Flavor with almond and rosewater. Ripen at least a week before using.

FAMILY NOTE: This recipe was sent to me by Granny's sister, my Aunt Mildred, with the notation, "Christmas cookies made by great grandmother Rasley, also made by her grandmother. The Swiss "i" is pronounced as though it were an E."
