A subtlety recipe from a 1599 Spanish cookbook.  The marzipan is mixed 
with cinnamon and sanders (powdered red sandalwood).  Then it's molded 
into the shape of a peach pit, with a whole blanched almond inside it.  When 
dried, they look remarkably like real peach pits.

I make them often, which is why Mistress Christianne thought that might be 
what I was making for Coronation.
