1 1/2 c. honey
1 c. warm water
1 big tbsp. butter
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. allspice
1 tbsp. brown sugar
Sm. pieces of ginger or orange peel

I use half a 4 ounce package of candied orange peel.

Boil all above ingredients for about 15 minutes. Let cool. Blend in 2 1/2 cups flour sifted with 1 teaspoon baking powder. Add 1 teaspoon baking soda which has been mixed with a bit of warm water. Stir carefully and place in greased and floured molds of either cake form or bread form. Bake 1 hour in medium warm oven (350 degrees).
