2/3 cup shortening, melted

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup molasses

1 egg

1/3 cup finely diced candied orange peel

1/3 cup finely diced crystallized ginger

1/3 cup chopped toasted almonds

2 1/2 cups flour

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Pour shortening into mixing bowl and cool. Add 1 cup sugar, molasses and egg; mix well with wooden spoon. Stir in orange peel, crystallized ginger and chopped almonds.

Stir together flour, soda, salt, ginger and cloves; add 1/4 at a time to sugar mixture, mixing well with hands.

Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes (do not overbake; cookies should be chewy). Cool on rack.
