Would like your advice/ideas

that sounds like stollen, which is a yeast dough with lots of fruit and it
is rolled out and marzipan paste put into the centre in a roll then the
dough rolled around that so as to create a block of marzipan with a roll of
thick fruity dough around the outside...when cooked and cooled sprinkle on
icing sugar lovely

description reads/sounds quite close to what i remember .... but i hae
no memory for such a name 'Stolen` ????
I DO know the cake kept quite well and was `fresh` even after quite a
long time !!!

It looks good, is it like a fruit cake? Which I don't eat, by the way... I
have this thing about cooked raisins and cherries, etc that make me gag. I
do have a question though... what exactly is marzipan? It doesn't give a
recipe for that... do you buy that already made and just add it to the rest
of the recipe?

Marzipan is Almond paste...
the stuff that goes on rich fruit wedding/anniversary/xmas cakes before the
white icing goes on.

3 Tbsp corn syrup 1 Tbsp butter
1/8 tsp salt 1 tsp vanilla

Cook to hard ball. Spread in buttered pan.

Sorry - I was using a different font on my word processor and did not
proof read this recipe.

BTW, what is the UK or anyone else's equivalent to Eagle Brand? Is
that a world wide brand or just for US? I hate to be so unknowing,
but have only ever lived here and have grown up with that as a
sweetened evaporated milk product.

We have Eagle Brand in Canada, but I make my own, which is much cheaper.

Higs,

Ahhh... okay! I know why I didn't know what it was then... my Mom had an
allergy to the stuff and would get very sick if she had any... therefore it
was never in the house. Thank you for clearing it up. I had heard of
marzipan before, but didn't realize that it was the almond paste.

The recipes I've got for marzipan have ground almonds, sugar, almond essence
and egg yolks - although I've only ever bought it ready made. It comes out
solid, but pliable, which gets softer as it warms up.
