Frutta di Martorana: the Sicilian marzipan fruit, shaped and painted by hand to look like the real thing, a fig, a pear, a prickly pear, an orange. Made from almond paste in the Palermo tradition that began at the Martorana convent, where the nuns hung marzipan fruit on the bare trees for a visiting bishop.

Medium size, about 30 to 60 g a piece. Set out on a dish for the holidays or wrap one as a small gift. Store cool and dry, away from sun. See photos for the shapes. On a dessert tray they sit well beside Crostata Sweet Butter Pastry Tarts and a jar of Blood Orange Spread. More sweets and chocolate and candy.
