1 quart Honey
2 c sugar
1 lb pecans
1/2 lb citron
2 T cinnamon
2 t ground cloves
2 t ground allspice
1 1/2 t baking powder

In large pot, boil honey & sugar, until sugar is dissolved. Measure the rest of the ingredients and mix into the honey sugar mixture. Refrigerate for 3 days.
Divide dough into thirds. With floured hands, press onto greased cookie sheet to 1/4" thick. Press to within 1" of edge of sheet. Bake on middle rack of preheated 350F oven for 20-22 minutes or until edges begin to brown and center springs back from light tough.
Upon removing, invert onto a cutting board, and cut in 1"x 2" strips. Drizzle glaze over cookies.
For glaze, combine 2 cups powdered sugar with enough milk to make drizzling consistency (about 4-6 tablespoons) and a dash of lemon, orange or almond extract, or all three.
