San Marzano Almond Balls
San Marzano Almond Balls... a delicate treat for special occasions. San Marzano is a liqueur from Puglia that my family has been using for many years to garnish gelato. My Mamma Angela has also been using it to make this delicious treat that I would like to share with you!
These are incredibly easy to make and guess what... No Baking needed!
Careful... you can get drunk on these!

- Put the sugar in a flat dish.
- Take a small lump of the paste, roll it in your hand to make a ball, then roll the ball in the sugar and set on a clean plate.
