Marzipan

This recipe for homemade marzipan requires you to get your hands dirty, so roll up your sleeves. Plus, if you like, you can get kids to join in on the marzipan merriment.

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Yield: 2 pounds

16 ounces almond paste

1/3 cup pasteurized egg white

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

4 cups confectioners’ sugar

1 In a large bowl, use your fingers to break up the almond paste into small chunks.

2 In a separate bowl, sift the confectioners’ sugar; set aside 3/4 cup for use when kneading the marzipan.

3 Stir the almond paste into the sugar, and make a well in the center of the mixture.

4 In a small bowl, combine the egg white and almond extract; pour into the well in the almond paste and sugar mixture. Stir until well mixed.

5 Sprinkle your work surface with a little of the reserved confectioners’ sugar, and turn out the almond mixture. Knead the mixture, adding more sugar as needed to prevent sticking, until the marzipan is smooth and pliable.
