Beat the 3 yolks and the 4 whole eggs together. Cream the sugar and butter together. Stir in the almonds and add the eggs. Beat until white and thick and then add the spices, the 1/4 cup sherry, and brandy. Stir in the flour. Finally, mix in the soaked and drained currants along with the citrus peel.
