Even when stored in an air-tight container, Marzipan will gradually harden over time. Just because it gets hard, does NOT mean you have to throw it out. There are a few tricks to soften it back up. You can either start kneading it with your hands, on a hard surface. You can knead in a few drops of vanilla or almond extract, since it contains these flavors already, it should not alter the taste. You can also place the marzipan in an airtight container with 2 orange halves, NOT TOUCHING the Oranges, and leave them at room temperature for about 2 days. You can also microwave or steam the marzipan, but be careful not to over heat it. And, finally, you can knead the marzipan, adding a few drops of water at a time, until it becomes soft enough to work with again.
