Frutta martorana

Frutta martorana

Frutta martorana (also frutta di Martorana) are traditional marzipan sweets, in the form of fruits and vegetables, from the province of Palermo, Sicily.Realistically coloured with vegetable dyes, they are said to have originated at the Monastero della artorana, Palermo, when nuns decorated empty fruit trees with marzipan fruit to impress an archbishop visiting at Easter. They are traditionally put by children's bedsides on All Saints Day.
