Steps:
- pour water, honey, sugar, add cinnamon sticks, star anise, and ground allspice in a saucepan. Bring to a boil while mixing. Remove the saucepan from the heat, cover with a plastic film, and let infuse at room temperature for 24 hours.
- The next day, preheat the oven to 320 degrees F/160 degrees C. To make the dough, mix flour, corn starch, and baking powder in a bowl. Drain the syrup with a colander and discard spices. Add rum to the syrup and mix. Stir dry ingredients into the wet mixture and combine it with a hand whisk. Add whole prunes, dried apricots, dried cranberries, and slivered almonds to the mix and combine. Pour the preparation in a buttered nonstick loaf pan or a silicone loaf pan, filling up three quarters.
- Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes. Check the loaf readiness with a toothpick: if it comes out dry, gingerbread is ready. Remove the loaf from the bread pan and let it cool on a cooling rack.
- place speculoos cookies in a food processor and crush to get crumbs. Heat apricot jam in a microwave and spread it all over gingerbread using a silicone brush. Generously sprinkle the loaf's sides with crumbled speculoos cookies.
- Dip each dried fruit in a heated apricot jam, shake off the excess jam, arrange prunes, dried apricots, Medjool dates, and raisins on top, overlapping each other. Fill the gaps between fruit with crumbled cookies.

PAIN D'ÉPICES - SPICED FRENCH GINGERBREAD LOAF WITH HONEY
A French classic and one that I will me making myself from now on, having just paid a small fortune for a tiny, if delicious loaf from my local boulangerie! This is a cross between sticky ginger parkin and a gingerbread cake or a tea loaf. It is not as moist as parkin or gingerbread, but it is extremely good when spread with butter or even better, when toasted.......divine! It is also surprisingly good when served with cheese. Another idea that I discovered in a local café, is to serve it warm with a dollop of crème fraiche and a little bunch of fresh berries on top, a perfect dessert for an elegant dinner party! This improves with keeping and makes a wonderful gift for a foodie friend or hostess - wrap in cellophane and attach a ribbon with serving suggestions. If you cannot source Quatre Épices, I have a recipe on zaar to make it at home! Recipe #283280
