[Sca-cooks] Marzipan question

[Olwen the Odd]

I'm sure Stefan has already jumped in here with where to find the discussion 
in the Florilegium.  It wasn't me who started it, I don't believe.  It is 
documentable, mentioned in a couple of places, including, IIRC, in All The 
Kings Cooks.  I made my peach pit molds from Sculpy.  Basically, the recipe 
is to colour some marzipan with saunder (red sandlewood), ginger and 
cinnamon, place some in one side of the mold, some in the other side, dimple 
both sides with your finger to insert a whole almond, then squish the two 
sides together to form the pit, pull out of the mold and set aside to dry.
