Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
8 oz Almond paste
2 1/4 c Confectioner's sugar
1 ea Egg white -- beaten lightly

* Blend the almond paste and sugar together. Add
enough egg white to create the consistency of modeling
clay.

BANANA Color the marzipan light yellow and roll it
into the banana shape. Dissolve cocoa in a little
water and, with a small paint brush, streak the fruit
with brown lines.

APPLE Color the marzipan light green or green yellow.
Shape into apple shape and make an impression on top
with a chopstick. Finish the apple with a brown stem
and a green leaf (made of marzipan)

STRAWBERRY Color the marzipan red and shape it into a
strawberry. Roll the berry in granulated sugar. Make
the hull with green marzipan.

ORANGE Make a smooth ball of orange-colored marzipan;
then press a piece of paper towel against the sides to
create the texture of orange skin. Push a whole clove
into the stem end of the orange.

This recpie makes one full-sized fruit or eight
miniatures. Using chopsticks or toothpicks help the
modeling process. Paste food coloring is the best,
though liquid works o.k.
