Eggless Marzipan
- Share via
Dear SOS: I kept a recipe for homemade marzipan that was printed in 1978. The paper has deteriorated. Do you have an updated recipe?

Dear Lillian: This updated version does not use raw egg whites. I hope it’s to your liking. Red and green food coloring are nice for the holidays.
Blend the almond paste with the corn syrup, almond extract and salt. Beat in the powdered sugar, working in the last of it with your hands if the mixture seems too stiff for the beater. The dough should be very thick and a little sticky.
Knead portions with a few drops of food coloring, roll out or shape as desired.
