Walnut Marzipan

I am indeed enjoying my walnut marzipan. I used this recipe but with almond extract instead or rum. I did try a bit of it without the almond extract, but decided I'd like a touch of almond flavor.

Walnut Marzipan

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 cups California walnuts
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon dark rum
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Place walnuts in a food processor and mix until finely ground.
2. Add powdered sugar, rum and salt. Mix until combined.
3. Add cold water, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, until the mixture comes together and forms a crumbly dough. 
4. Turn marzipan out onto a surface, sprinkled with a bit of powdered sugar, and use your hands to press crumbs into a log. 
5. Wrap in plastic wrap and store in a dark and cool place until ready to use.
