Step 1

Blanch the almonds. In a bowl, place the almonds and cover the almonds with boiling water. Let the almonds soak for 15 minutes.

Using your hands, squeeze each almond to remove the almond skins. It should peel off easily when lightly pressed.

Notes:

  1. Glucose can be tricky to handle. Use a wet spoon to add the glucose.
  2. The coating prevents the marzipan from drying and adds an elegant glossy finish.
