Rosh Hashanah - Taiglach

• This is something my mom made that her grandmother would make. My mother was somewhat superstitious and you are suppose to eat Taiglach for a sweet year.
  
  Taiglach
  
  2 tablespoons sugar
  1 cup honey
  1/8 teaspoon ground ginger (or more)
  1 (or 1 and 1/2) large box of soup nuts (these are found in the kosher aisle of the supermarket, they are not real nuts)
  1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  1/2 cup or more raisins
  1/4 cup or more cut up maraschino cherries
  1 tablespoon cold water
  
  Dissolve honey and sugar. Add soup nuts, nuts, cherries and raisins. Boil for seven minutes. Stir occasionally (use a wooden spoon) and add the cold water. Stir gently over low heat, until mixture is a deep, golden brown. Pour out onto waxed paper. When it has cooled a little, (using cold water on your hands) form into balls and put in small cupcake papers. Store in a covered containere. My mom says they store indefinitely, but I assume just through the holiday week.
