Note

Everything turned out to be not so simple. The recipe is lean, and marzipan, in my understanding, asked for gelatin or something binder. And it would be nice to add 50 grams of amaretto to moisturize.
And it so happened that I could not buy seedless grapes. There was no way to get to the market, and the store was only large, but, as I was assured, it was pitted. It was pointless to carry those grapes back. However, be that as it may, the dessert turned out to be very tasty. And how could he get with such a set of products?

Actually, the marzipan log is made entirely according to the recipe. But the product is very fragile. I’m thinking, if I prepare marzipan filling for a marzipan log, as in an almond log. It will be great, I think so.

Celfh, Tanyusha, what a beauty aaa And what is delicious - there is no doubt at all

And about marzipan - can I tell you about my negative (for now!) Experience
As I understand it, in order for marzipan to turn out right - very plastic, like plasticine, you need almond flour, and not even finely ground nuts.

I periodically for 2 !!! for years I have been trying to do this at home from nuts (I even got hold of bitter myindal!), and not from purchased almond flour (there seems to be such a thing ...). On what I tried to grind nuts into flour, even through a fine sieve, rubbed it with a pestle (after grinding in a mortar)
Of all the possible, I have not tried only the electric coffee grinder - well, I have not ...

So to modernize the recipe, as you suggest - with the addition of a thickener - the very thing. Only I instead of gelatin (for obvious reasons) use pectin plus agar everywhere. Need to try!

Of course it is possible, we are here for this and have gathered to share experience, and not only positive.Irina, I also have a negative experience, I didn't think of working with a pestle, but I broke one coffee grinder, After that I decided not to mess with it anymore. But time passed, the experience was forgotten, and I bought a bleder, but the miracle did not happen

Omela, Olga from Voronezh, thanks girls

Nice, no doubt, but it will crumble ... Maybe add cookies, ground into crumbs? Halved almonds with cookies. A little jelly or lean semolina porridge can be a binder ... It is necessary to conduct experiments ...

The result is just awesome! Svetlana, a hotel plus for your patience in working with marzipan! I always pray in a coffee grinder, the nut is soft. If you take the classic marzipan recipe - nuts, powdered sugar, water or alcohol, and without boiling, just combine everything. You can sculpt from plasticine and roll it out. Did the almonds lose their stickiness due to roasting?
