How to cook deliciously - German Homemade Marzipan

1. Stage

Place almonds in a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Let stand for a few minutes until cool enough to handle.

2. Stage

Slip almonds out of their skins one by one, leaving the remaining almonds in the warm water. Drain almonds in a colander.

3. Stage

Place almonds and confectioners' sugar in a food processor fitted with a metal blade and process to a paste. Add cold water, 1/2 to 1 teaspoon at a time, if the paste is too dry. Scrape the sides a few times to ensure even processing. Add a few drops of almond extract towards the end of the process. Process marzipan until it is smooth and no longer grainy.

4. Stage

Wrap marzipan in plastic wrap and store in a cool, dry place.
