Gingerbread Nuts for Ginger Lovers

These are some of my old recipe books, the oldest and most treasured ones.     Today I am sharing a recipe that I found in the large black volume, the one with the date 1840 on the spine.    It's a massive book and is filled with handwritten recipes.  There is no indication of who collected and wrote them, which is a shame. Ginger was definitely a favourite flavour in that household.
