Marzipan recipes
Large Quantity (Yield: 2 pounds)
1 pound of almond paste
1 pound (4 cups) of sifted confectioner's sugar
6 tablespoons (3 ounces) of light corn syrup*
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (or any flavoring)
1 tablespoon of rum or any liqueur (optional)
Marzipan recipe 1: Uncooked home made marzipan
(this marzipan recipe is good for preparing modelling marzipan)
500g (16 oz) sifted icing sugar (confectioner's sugar)
450g ( 1lb) ground almonds
2 egg whites
1/2 tsp vanilla flavoring
1 tsp lemon juice
Sift the icing sugar in a bowl with the ground almonds. Add the remaining ingredients and mix to make a stiff paste. Knead until smooth. (As a substitute to raw eggs it is possible to use a little water mixed with brandy to bind the paste).
Marzipan recipe 2: Cooked home made marzipan
(this marzipan recipe is good for preparing modelling marzipan but it will turn out slightly stickier than the uncooked marzipan)
225g (8oz) granulated sugar
180g (6oz) ground almonds
40g (11/2 oz) icing sugar (confectioners sugar)
pinch of cream of tartar
1 egg white, lightly whisked
5 tbsp water
1\2 tsp vanilla extract
Put the sugar and the water in a heavy based saucepan and cook on a low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Add cream of tarter and bring to the boil until the sugar reaches 116oC (240oF)- soft ball stage. Remove from the heat and mix the mixture until it turns cloudy, then add ground almonds and vanilla extract. Add to the pan the egg white and return to a low heat and stir for a couple of minutes.
Place the icing sugar on to a marble surface and pour over the mixture. Work in the icing sugar with a palate knife. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap until cooled. Once cooled knead the mixture until smooth.
glaze:
Dissolve 1 Tbsp. plain gelatin (Catalog #34177) in 2 cups cold water. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and cool. Brush on candies or dip them in this solution.
For a soft shine: Mix 1/2 cup corn syrup in 1 cup water and bring to boil. Remove from heat, cool, and brush onto marzipan forms.
For a high gloss: Mix 1/2 cup corn syrup with 1 or 2 Tbsp. water. Proceed as above.
