Beat the softened butter with the sugar and egg until well combined. Add the honey. Stir in the spices and fruit. Sift together the flour and baking powder, mix with the nuts, and knead into a dough. Chill the ginger dough for at least two hours. Work the chilled dough until smooth. Roll out with a little flour to a thickness of 1/2 cm and cut out shapes as desired. Bake at 170°C for about 10 minutes until golden brown. Mix the icing sugar with fruit juice (or red food coloring and a little water) to make the glaze. Glaze the still-warm pastries and decorate them with Christmas decorations. Tip: The fruit can be easily chopped in the Moulinette with a little flour or sugar (from the recipe).
