Update on marzipan with egg yolk. Not to worry; after reading the

[aajay]

whole recipe turns out you cook the mixture after adding yolks. Great results, pure almond taste, no nasty almond extract which I now realize turned me off as a child. It even developed a thin crust while remaining soft inside. I just molded them in plastic chocolate molds but next batch will try coloring and sculping into fruit,etc. Think I'll try Trader Joes ground almonds instead of grinding my own.

Since the recipe comes from a specific cook book, I'm not sure about the ethics of posting. Will send name of book by private message, OK?
