Once cooked, remove the skin and squeeze them with the potato masher, or strike the processor.
Prepare the dough mode:
Place dough nuts in a large bowl. Add sugar, honey, cocoa powder, vanilla, cocoa liquor, cinnamon powder and ground cloves.
If the dough is too soft, add powdered milk.

Arrange a board 80 cm wide and 1 meter high, line it with foil to mount the tree.
Go put the dough in the shaping board with a knife or with crusty bread (one centimeter in height).
Clean the edges with a damp cloth or paper towel.
Put some cherries on the tree outline and others scattered on top, along with walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, raisins, the balls peaches and figs, candied fruit.
And if you want to make apricot balls.
Take the seeds of dates and make them the tree trunk. 10 X 10 cm.
The model tree is a triangle most are down
Brazil nuts (Brazil), make a point in each, like a pencil, spread in various places tree, and is placed last, to make the candles.
Light the candles Brazil nuts (Brazil) at supper time.
If you do not wish to distribute tree in bowls and put in the center cherries, or nuts.
It serves as pie filling.
The pie dough should already be baked, choose pasta of your choice.
Puff pastry, shortcrust pastry, or even cookie dough.
The decor is up to you.
My suggestion for decoration is spread Christmas dried fruit and cherries in syrup (drained), as the Christmas tree.
Important warning:
Only the prompt mass nuts can be frozen. Remove from freezer 12 hours before.
Place in the refrigerator to thaw. Keep the dough in the refrigerator until ready to serve (mount).
Make the tree an hour before serving.
