Marzipan

Thanks to Minette Greenman, who will always be loved as a beloved grandmother!

Ingredients:

1/3 cup Margarine
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups (7-oz. jar) marshmallow
4 cups sifted confectioner’s sugar
Dash of salt
Food coloring

Instructions:

As pretty as traditional holiday marzipan, and it tastes even better. Cream margarine; blend in Marshmallow cream(jet-whipped with real egg whites), salt and extract. Gradually add sugar; mix well. Divide mixture; tint with food coloring to resemble fruit. Knead in additional confectioners’ sugar if mixture becomes sticky. Shape into fruit. Let stand overnight until dry. If desired, brush with warm corn syrup; roll in colored sugar. Attach stems and leaves.
