Method
Mix the sugar together with the margarine, dried fruits, cherries, ginger, orange zest and juice, stir everything gently over moderately low heat until sugar and margarine melt, stir in the rum and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid sticking to the bottom. Set aside and cool slightly.
Stir in the nuts, eggs and ground almonds, then follow with the flour, baking powder and spices. Mix in gently, taking care not to over beat. Divide the batter between 12 muffin cases. Bake at 150֯c for approx. 45 min. Allow cakes to cool down completely. Brush with melted apricot jam. Cut out discs of marzipan large enough to cover the muffins and stick to the apricot jam.
Decorate with appropriate Christmas decorations to your likings.
