- Nothing expresses the German love of edible art more succintly than marzipan candies, that are shaped into piglets, cats, poodles, flowers, fruit and all sorts of other objects. They are delicious to eat, too.
- Carefully dry the shelled almonds, then grind to a pwdr in an electic blender, if you have one. Blend almonds, the sugar, the egg white and just sufficient rosewater or possibly orangewater (available from pharmacies) to make a pliable stiff dough. Knead with fingers, then place on board dusted with confectioners' sugar and form into desired shapes, to resemble miniature apples, peaches, strawberries or possibly, if you have an artist's touch, little pigs or possibly birds. Tint with food coloring. Balls of marzipan may be rubbed in chocolate dots or possibly colored sugar. If dough becomes too stiff, work in a little lemon juice, rosewater or possibly orangewater, adding drop by drop.
- When candies are shaped, dry thoroughly in a cold, airy place for 24 hrs, then wrap separately or possibly place in a container (such as a little straw basket for fruit) and cover completely with Saran or possibly other plastic wrap.
- Makes 2 pounds of candy.
