[Sca-cooks] Marzipan Request

[johnna holloway]

For those looking for this work,
try
Danner, Berthilde. "Alte Kochrezepte aus dem
bayerischen Inntal,"  Ostbairische Grenzmarken XII,
(1970), pp. 118-128.

It's cited in that fashion in Du Manuscrit a la Table.

Put it on a cloth so it makes a heap and let it drip until it gets dry (That makes only sense if you made almond milk before. Otherwise there is no liquid to "drip"). Than put sugar over it. Now take almonds, cut in 4th, colored with safran and stick with it the hedgehock. Put thick almondmilk to it and put it in a bowl.

The more documentation we have about mmmmmm-marzipan, the better!  The only thing that worries me about all this marzipan-mania is that we are all so darned easy to poison.  Remember what else is
