AMIGDALOTA (aka marzipan) from Cyprus

[Guest guest]

This is another from the Reciptopia elist. I didn't realize flower waters were

edible. Is there a different in them? I have rose water and orange blossom

water but I use them for scenting the sheets and as perfumes.

 

BL

 

2 glasses very finely ground blanched almonds

or

1/2 finely ground + 1/2 more coarsely ground

1 1/2 glasses icing sugar

Enough Orange Blossom Water to make a stiffly ground mix

Cloves

 

Form into small pear or other fruit shapes and stick a clove on top of

each to make stems. Place in small paper cases and serve on a pretty

cake plate.

 

Notes: Many Cypriot recipes use the term " glass " for measurements.

This means a standard wine glass. Edible colourings could be also

used but that is NOT traditional in Cyprus!
