Preparing In The Kitchen
  1. In a saucepan, mix the honey, molasses and sugar with the gingerbread spice, cinnamon, ginger and orange juice and bring to a boil. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Cut the butter into cubes and gradually stir into the mixture. Then allow to cool down.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the flour and baking powder and knead with the wet ingredients into a smooth dough. Then wrap in cling film and refrigerate for about 4 hours.
  3. Preheat the oven to 190 ºC and prepare a baking tray with parchment paper.
  4. On a floured surface, roll out the gingerbread dough to a rectangle (about 30 x 40 cm) and place on the baking tray. Pierce the dough several times with a fork and pre-bake in the oven for about 8-10 minutes.
  5. In the meantime, roughly chop the cranberries. In a bowl, mix the cranberries with the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and the almond slices.
  6. In a saucepan, bring the butter, sugar, honey, cream and vanilla paste to the boil and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the seed mixture and simmer for another 5 minutes.
  7. Pour the nut mass on the pre-baked dough and spread evenly. Then bake again in the oven for about 10 minutes.
  8. Allow to cool down for ca. 10 minutes and cut into desired shapes.
