Ingredients

  1. 1-7 oz box Odense Marzipan

Time

45 minutes

Yield

36-38 mini lemons

Directions

  1. Roll Marzipan into a ball and make a well in the center. Add yellow food coloring. Knead in color.
  2. Pinch off 36-38 pieces of Marzipan and roll into balls. Slightly taper ends. With tweezers or fingers press in star end of clove stem (bud removed) or a cardamom seed, rounding that end just a bit.
  3. Leave smooth or, for a dimpled effect, gently roll lemon on fine hole side of a box grater or a nutmeg grater.
  4. Place marzipan lemons on a plate and loosely cover with plastic wrap. Let dry overnight. Covered lemons will stay soft for one to two weeks at room temperature. They can be frozen for up to 3 months in an air tight container.
