Preheat oven to 350F. Line large cookie sheet with foil. Combine Marsala
and currants in heavy small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until liquid
evaporates, about 5 minutes. Cool.

processor. Mix egg white with extract in medium bowl. Add to processor and
blend until dough forms ball. Place dough in bowl. Mix in currants. Shape
dough between palms into 3/4-inch-diameter balls. Roll in 1 cup pine nuts
