Marzipan Recipe

Mazapanes (Marzipan or Almond Candies)

Ingredients for candy:

½ pound almonds

1 cup sugar

4 Tablespoons water

Powdered sugar

Procedure:

In a food processor or blender, grind the nuts on high speed to form a paste.

Add the sugar and beat again.

Gradually add water and continue beating to form shapeable dough.

Dust a clean, flat surface (such as the counter) with powdered sugar.

If the dough cracks and is too dry to work with, lemon juice may be added, drop by drop, until the dough is easier to work with.

Pinch off pieces of the dough. Working on the surface dusted with powdered sugar, roll the pieces of dough to make short pencils, about 4 inches long.

Join the ends to make rings. Place on a cookie sheet.

Leave uncovered in a dry place overnight to harden.
