Episode 13: Marzipan Pumpkins


(This episode is dedicated to show-and-tell time and my super hero teacher and classmates.)

This is a special holiday episode of my show. Marzipan pumpkins are not only great for Halloween candy and decorating, but they are also great for other fall decorating, including Thanksgiving. These pumpkins will look so cute on your table. They are fun to make and really yummy to eat.

Marzipan is a paste made from almonds and sugar. You can buy it at the grocery store. It' a little hard to knead in the food coloring but the rest is easy. You can use any fruit stem as your pumpkin "stem" or you can make your own out of marzipan.

Enjoy the show!

Dear Retta,
Loved your Retta Show. What fun and you are so good. Your recipes bring me a big smile and my tummy a happy roar. Bill and I have made and eaten your Chicken Pot Pie twice now. What a treat.
Am planning to tune in to all your shows. Please let me know when they are airing.
I love you much. Auntie Retta
