1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
2 oz ground almonds

1 oz dried cranberries
1 oz currents (I didn't have any so used raisins)
1/2 tsp orange extract
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
120 ml milk (I used soya)
4 oz almond paste (marzipan)
Heat the oven to 180C with fan or 200C without fan.
Rub the flour, bircarbonate of soda,cream of tartar and sunflower spread gently until it resembles fine breadcrumbs, add the ground almonds and sugar and mix well.
Add the candied ornage peel, cranberries, & currents or raisins and mix.
Add the orange and vanilla extracts to the milk and pour onto the flour mixture and fold in gently, don't kneed it like you would bread.
Roll the almond paste into sausage shape about 12 cm long
Shape the dough into an oblong about 16 cm long, place the almond paste in the middle and fold over completely encasing it in the dough.
