Peppernuts.

Four pounds brown sugar, one pound currants, one-fourth pound citron, one-half pound almonds, one quart buttermilk, one tablespoon each of ground cloves, allpslce, soda and salt, two tablespoons coreander, one teaspoon each mace, pepper and grated hartshorn. Pour boiling water over almonds and remove skins. Chop citron, currants and nuts very fine and put them in the pan with the sugar and spices sprinkled on top. Stir hartshorn into one pint sifted flour, add buttermilk and enough flour to make as stiff as bread dough and roll it long. Cut in small pieces and make round as a marble. Put these in tins one and a half inches apart and bake brown. This amount will make about half a bushel.
