Now for something different, a recipe for home made marzipan.

Morning everyone,

I thought it might be worth trying to put the recipe in my blog for everyone who likes marzipan. It is quite easy to do and is absolutely gorgeous if you like marzipan, like I do. It is ideal to use in Danish pastries, a Christmas pastry wreath and almond marzipan stollen for people who love that. You need to prepare it at least one day in advance to give it the best possible taste.
This way you can have the recipe way in front of Christmas in case you want to use it for Christmas.







To make it you need:

Weighing scales
A bowl
A fork
200 grams of ground almond
200 grams of caster sugar
1 medium egg
A few drops of lemon or lime juice.






Mix the ground almond, caster sugar, egg and the drops of lemon or lime juice together in a bowl using a fork.



Once nice and smooth (also sticky so a good excuse to lick your fingers, yum, yum) add the lid to the bowl and place in the fridge for later use. Leave there for at least 24 hours before using it in your recipe.



I hope you enjoy it as much as I (and my family) do.

You can find the recipe for the Pastry Christmas Wreath using the home made marzipan here and here.

Love,

Jo.
