Christmas Calendar 2016 - Marzipan with cherry

It is time to make some "konfekt" sweet treat with marzipan as main/important ingredient. The flavouring part is cherry, which is another traditional fruit in connection with Danish Christmas. I have been used sweet pickled cherries from Sellenberg, which I brought at the Christmas fair at CLAY.

Marzipan with cherry:  - approx 30 pieces

• 3 tablespoons of sweet pickled cherry
• 300 g marzipan
• 150-175 g dark chocolate
• 40 g freeze-dried raspberry

1. Add the marzipan and sweet pickled to a mixing bowl, where you knead it together.
2. Divide the marzipan mass into 30 pieces, which is rolled into ball shape.
3. Store the marzipan balls cold for 3-4 hours or night over in the refrigerator.
4. Temper the dark chocolate.
5. Cover the marzipan balls in dark chocolate.
6. Drizzle freeze-dried raspberry on to the dark chocolate.
7. Lets the chocolate dry, before the cherry marzipan sweet treat is stored in air tight containers for later use.
