Almond Paste

This recipe is for those of you who wish to make your own almond paste. I prefer making my own rather than purchase it in specialty stores.

 

1 pound blanched almonds
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup sugar
2-3 teaspoons water or milk/cream

 

Almond Grinder

Almond Grinder

Grind the dried blanched almonds in an almond grinder or blender.

Mix the ground almonds with the sugar in a bowl.

Add the liquid until the paste has the desired feel/consistency. The amount of liquid required varies depending on how oily/dry the almonds are.
