Beat your eggs, adding a little sugar at a time until fluffy. Add the honey and almonds; stir in.
Add the flour, soda, and spices together. Chop the candied fruit up small then stir well. Combine the mixtures and refrigerate till chilled.
Preheat oven to 375 F Spread mixture on buttered baking sheet about 1 inch thick. Bake 30 minutes. Cool and enjoy.
