Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups (200 g) ground almonds (almond meal)
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar (caster sugar)

¼ cup (60 mL) honey

  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) water
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) pure almond extract

Directions

  1. Place the ground almonds into a food processor. Stir the sugar, honey and water in a small saucepot over high heat until it reaches a full boil and the sugar has completely dissolved. Pour this into the food processor while it’s running. Add the almond extract and blend until the marzipan comes together. While it’s still warm, shape this into a log and wrap in plastic wrap well. Leave at room temperature to cool and store well-wrapped until you are ready to use it.
  2. Marzipan will keep, well-wrapped, for up to a month, or can be frozen up to 3 months.
