For the finest texture, ensure your blanched almonds are ground very finely. A food processor or spice grinder works best. If the marzipan is too sticky after chilling, knead in a little extra confectioners' sugar until it reaches the desired consistency. Flavor variations: Experiment with other extracts, such as vanilla or rosewater, to create unique marzipan flavors. Food coloring can be added when kneading.
