Name: Marzipan Fruit
Ingredients: 8 oz Almond paste; 2 1/4 c Confectioner's sugar; 1 Egg white; beaten lightly

God has hidden every precious thing in such a way that it is a reward to the diligent, a prize to the earnest, but a disappointment to the slothful soul. All nature is arrayed against the lounger and the idler. The nut is hidden in its thorny case; the pearl is buried beneath the ocean waves; the gold is imprisoned in the rocky bosom of the mountains; the gem is found only after you crush the rock which encloses it; the very soil gives its harvest as a reward to the laboring farmer. So truth and God must be earnestly sought.

INGREDIENTS

8	oz	Almond paste
2 1/4	c	Confectioner's sugar
1		Egg white; beaten lightly

INSTRUCTIONS

* Blend the almond paste and sugar together. Add enough egg white to create
the consistency of modeling clay.
BANANA Color the marzipan light yellow and roll it into the banana shape.
Dissolve cocoa in a little water and, with a small paint brush, streak the
fruit with brown lines.
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)
STRAWBERRY Color the marzipan red and shape it into a strawberry. Roll the
berry in granulated sugar. Make the hull with green marzipan.
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.
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.
