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:
- Set butter aside in a large bowl to soften.
- In another bowl mix together flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg.
- Set aside enough cherry halves so that there is enough to top each cookie with one.
- Add remaining fruit and walnuts to a third bowl. Add 1/2 cup of the flour mixture to the fruit and stir until it is coated with flour and mixed well. (This helps separate the fruit and keep it from sticking together.).
- After butter has softened, beat butter, sugar and eggs until creamy. Mix in buttermilk and vanilla.
- Add half of flour mixture and mix well. Add remaining flour and mix.
- Note: At this point, make sure everything is mixed well because the mixture will be very stiff and hard to stir after adding the fruit.
- Stir in half of the fruit mixture into the cookie dough. Add remaining fruit and mix.
- Refrigerate dough for an hour or more (may be refrigerated overnight).
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls on non-stick or lightly greased cookie sheet. Top each cookie with one reserved cherry half.
- Bake 12-15 minutes, until almost no imprint remains when touched lightly with finger.
- Remove and cool.

- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter until creamy. Add 3/4 cup of the sugar and beat at medium speed until fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla. At low speed, beat in the flour and salt. Gather the dough into a ball and shape it into 2 logs, each about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Roll the logs in the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Using a thin, sharp knife, slice the logs 1/4 inch thick. Arrange the slices on 2 large baking sheets and press a few slivers of candied orange peel in the center of each. Bake the cookies on the upper and lower racks of the oven for about 22 minutes, until golden around the edges and on the bottom; shift the pans from front to back and top to bottom halfway through baking. Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
