Ingredients

• 200g pack ground almonds
• 200g golden caster sugar
• 1 egg, beaten
• few drops almond essence
• For the icing
• 175g royal icing mix
• 2 - 3 tbsp lemon juice
• small crystallised fruits, to decorate

Directions

1. Make the marzipan: mix the almonds and sugars until well combined. Add the egg and almond essence and mix to a stiff paste, using your hands to press the mixture together. Knead the marzipan briefly on a surface dusted with icing sugar, then roll out to a thickness of about 1cm.
2. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment, then carefully set marzipan on top. Leave to set for 1 hr. Beat royal icing and lemon juice together, then spread evenly over the marzipan. Leave to dry overnight.
3. Cut the iced marzipan with small cutters and press a piece of crystallised fruit into the centre of each. Pack into boxes interleaved with baking parchment.
