INGREDIENTS:
8 ounces almond paste
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup
3 drops any color food coloring
DIRECTIONS:
Break the almond paste into small pieces over a medium
bowl. Add 1 cup of the confectioners' sugar, and
work it in with your hands until incorporated. It
will be crumbly. Add another 3/4 cup of sugar, and
work it in really well. Pour in the corn syrup, and
work it in until evenly blended. Spread remaining
sugar out on a clean work surface, and knead the
dough until smooth and uniform, 3 to 5 minutes. If
the dough seems too sticky, knead in more sugar.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for
about an hour. It should have the consistency of
modeling dough.
Break off small pieces of marzipan to color, kneading
in color thoroughly until you arrive at the desired
color. Then blend the colored pieces into larger portions
of dough. Dust a work surface and rolling pin with
confectioners' sugar, and roll dough out to 1/4 inch
thickness. Cut into desired shapes using small cookie
cutters to make candies.
