Marzipan

What you can do with almonds? A lot
Here I give you a simple recipe to make your own marzipan. Main substance are the almonds. 

Recipe for a housmake marzipan

 - 250g almonds
 - 250g icing sugar
 - 30ml rose water from the pharmacy (or amaretto, dark rum, cognac)
 - 1/2 bottle of almond extract



Pour over the almonds with boiling water and let soak for at least 5 minutes. Remove the skin from the almonds. The almonds pat dry. As long grind up the almonds are finely as possible and hold together during kneading. (The mass should be a little greasy, because the oil leaks).




Add the powdered sugar, rose water and almond extract and grind again or knead quickly. From these ingredients results in approximately 540g marzipan. The marzipan should be airtight in refrigerator.

And you have a original marzipan. You can put the marzipan on cakes. You can make small chocolates or create small figures. Do not be afraid you can also put color on the marzipan.
