Marzipan Fruit

Ingredients

8 ounces Almond paste
2 1/4 cups Confectioner's sugar
1 Egg white, beaten lightly

Preparation

1
* Blend the almond paste and sugar together. Add enough egg white to create the consistency of modeling clay.
2
BANANA Color the marzipan light yellow and roll it into the banana shape.
3
Dissolve cocoa in a little water and, with a small paint brush, streak the fruit with brown lines.
4
APPLE Color the marzipan light green or green yellow. Shape into apple shape and make an impression on top with a chopstick. Finish the apple with a brown stem and a green leaf (made of marzipan)
5
STRAWBERRY Color the marzipan red and shape it into a strawberry. Roll the berry in granulated sugar. Make the hull with green marzipan.
6
ORANGE Make a smooth ball of orange-colored marzipan; then press a piece of paper towel against the sides to create the texture of orange skin. Push a whole clove into the stem end of the orange.
7
This recpie makes one full-sized fruit or eight miniatures. Using chopsticks or toothpicks help the modeling process. Paste food coloring is the best, though liquid works o.k.
