Instructions: Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl. Make a well in the center and drop the eggs and oil into it. Work into the flour and mix until a dough is formed. Break off pieces of dough and roll into pencil-thick strips. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces and place on a lightly greased cooky sheet.

Bake in a 350 degree oven 20 minutes or until browned. Shake the pan once or twice. Cool.

Cook the honey, brown sugar, ginger and nutmeg for 15 minutes. Drop the baked dough into it and cook for 5 minutes. Add the nuts and cook 10 minutes additional, stirring frequently. Test the mixture by dropping a little on a wet serface; if it holds together, its done; if not, cook until it does. Turn out onto a wet board and let cool until easy to handle. Then shape into 3-inch balls between moistened hands. Decorate with the candied cherries, if you wish.

Makes approximately 36.
