Steps:
- Snip off the hard stems of the figs with scissors or a small knife and coarsely chop the figs. In a medium bowl, combine the figs, raisins, cherries, apricots, honey, sherry, lemon juice, pecans, and a pinch of salt. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to sit overnight at room temperature.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, cloves, superfine sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the egg and mix until incorporated. With the mixer still on low, slowly add the flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt just until combined. Don't over mix! Add the fruits and nuts, including any liquid in the bowl.
- Divide the dough in half and place each half on the long edge of a 12 by 18-inch piece of parchment or waxed paper. Roll each half into a log, 1 1/2 to 1 3/4-inch thick, making an 18-inch-long roll. Refrigerate the dough for several hours, or until firm.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- With a small, sharp knife, cut the logs into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place the slices 1/2-inch apart on ungreased sheet pans and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly golden.

Steps:
- Mix oil, sugar, egg, Honey, Bicarb of Soda, Salt and mixed spice in a large bowl. Mix until well combined and smooth
- Sift the flour, and gradually stir into the smooth mixture. The mix will soon combine into a smooth dough at this stage I emptied the contents onto a lightly floured surface and kneaded the dough carefully until all crumbs were gathered up
- Roll out your dough to a desired thickness, and cut out your cookies. I managed to get 25 cookies using a 78mm round cutter.
- Preheat the oven to 180C and place cookies on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. I only have a small baking tray so I had to cook the cookies in 4 and a bit batches >.< Also place the cookies with enough space between them as they will spread while baking. Bake for 10-12 mins or until golden around the edges and cracked on top.
- Transfer baking paper on top a wire rack and leave to cool. Sprinkle with caster sugar and enjoy :)
- I added coloured sprinkles into the dough for colour and a different texture which added a nice touch to them. Can add fruit to the smooth batter stage, such as banana or chocolate chips for some extra chewyness and flavor
HONEY OATMEAL BREAKFAST COOKIES
Very easy to make. Lightly sweet, these cookies are high in protein and fiber, and tasty without any refined sugar, so you get a boost of energy to get you through the morning. My teenagers grab these for breakfast when they are rushing out the door. Makes a filling snack as well. You can substitute your favorite dried fruit and nuts in place of the raisins and walnuts. I have also added 1/2 cup chocolate chips on occasion.
