Quick Marzipan

This is a very simple method of making marzipan. There is no boiling of sugar or roasting of nuts involved, and the use of dry almonds ensures a long shelf life. The fondant does not have a high enough water content to be used on its own in this recipe, as the resulting marzipan would be too dry. Therefore some liquid (syrup or liquor) must be added at the beginning of the recipe.
