But when you're stuck on an island with only one grocery store and it's New Year's Eve and you need to make a good luck marzipan pig (welcome to my world), you'll be glad you've learned how. Just mix a pound of powdered sugar with a pound of ground almonds (use your food processor to grind smooth), two egg whites, 1/2 a teaspoon of vanilla and a teaspoon of lemon juice, and mix into a paste. If it's still to stiff, add a tiny bit of water. If you don't want to use raw eggs, you can try using a little brandy as a moistener instead.
This marzipan site has a few other recipes, if you want to experiment. For more marzipan recipes, a history of marzipan, and a pig-making tutorial, check out this site.
