2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the plain flour, cloves, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.

3. Mix Fruit and Nuts: In another bowl, combine the diced pineapple, chopped pecans, and 1 cup of the sifted dry ingredients. Mix well to ensure the fruit and nuts are evenly coated.

4. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, place the butter and beat it until creamy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

5. Add Sugar: Gradually add the sugar to the creamed butter, about 1/4 cup at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture is light and fluffy.

6. Incorporate Eggs: Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Make sure the eggs are fully incorporated into the batter.

7. Alternate Flour and Juice: Gradually add the remaining sifted dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the apple juice. Mix well after each addition until you have a smooth batter.

8. Combine Mixtures: Add the fruit and nut mixture to the batter and mix until well combined. Ensure that the fruit and nuts are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

9. Form Cookies: Using a spoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of the cookie batter onto greased cookie sheets, leaving space between each cookie for spreading during baking.

10. Bake: Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 20-24 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges and set in the center.

11. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the cookie sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
