Steps:
- Place almonds in a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Let stand for a few minutes until cool enough to handle. Slip the almonds out of their skins one by one, leaving the remaining almonds in the warm water. Drain almonds in a colander.
- Place almonds and confectioners' sugar in the food processor fitted with a metal blade and process to a paste. Add cold water, 1/2 to 1 teaspoon at a time, if the paste is too dry. Scrape the sides a few times to ensure even processing. Add a few drops of almond extract towards the end of the process. Process marzipan until it is smooth and no longer grainy. Wrap in plastic wrap and store in a cool, dry place.

HOMEMADE MARZIPAN
I made my own marzipan for my Christmas cake this year and will never ever go back to the stuff they sell in the shops. It was so easy to make and the orange zest gave it a lovely flavour. The recipe is from the November issue of the Good Food magazine.

Steps:
- Sift the sugars and ground almonds together, then stir in the orange zest. Beat together the egg and egg yolk, and stir into the sugar mixture.
- Knead briefly to make sure the marzipan is well mixed, and easy to work with. If it is too dry, add a little orange juice. If it is too wet, add some more icing sugar.
- Place the cake on the cake board and use small balls of marzipan to plug any holes in the cake. Glaze the cake with a thin layer of apricot jam or shredless marmalade.
- Dust the work surface with a little icing sugar and roll out the marzipan in one direction, keeping the pressure even and turning a 1/4 turn every feel rolls.
- When it's large enough (about 40cm for a 20cm cake), roll the marzipan onto the rolling pin and lift onto the cake. Smooth the top with your hands and continue to smooth it over the sides of the cake. Trim the marzipan where it meets the board and leave it to dry overnight.

Tips:
- To achieve the right consistency for the marzipan, make sure to mix the ground almonds and confectioners' sugar thoroughly before adding the egg white and almond extract. The mixture should be smooth and hold together well when pressed.
- If the marzipan mixture is too dry, add a little more egg white. If it's too wet, add a little more confectioners' sugar.
- To make sure the marzipan thins are evenly baked, rotate the baking sheet halfway through the baking time.
- Let the marzipan thins cool completely before dipping them in chocolate. This will help the chocolate to set properly.
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate or semisweet chocolate for dipping.
- If you don't have a dipping fork, you can use a spoon or even your fingers to dip the marzipan thins in chocolate.
- Store the marzipan thins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
