"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Ingredients:  
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup brown sugar packed
1/4 cup jelly (I use apple but any kind will do)
2 eggs
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon each: allspice, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg

Directions:
Directions:
Cream butter and sugar well; add jelly and eggs and beat until well mixed. Dissolve soda in milk; stir into creamed mixture. Gradually add half the flour which has been sifted with the spices. Dredge nuts and fruit with remaining flour, then stir all into batter and mix well. Drop by rounded teaspoonful about 2 inches apart onto buttered and floured baking sheet. Decorate tops with candied cherries if desired. Bake in 300º oven about 20 minutes until done. These cookies ripen and improved with aging like fruit cake.
