Almond Paste

1-1/2 cups (8 ounces) whole blanched almonds
1-1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1 egg white
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

In a food processor, grind half of the almonds until very fine. Remove and repeat
with the remaining almonds. Total ground nuts will yield 1-3/4 cups. Put all nuts
and remaining ingredients in the food processor. Cover and process until a paste
forms. Gather together and refrigerate in a tightly sealed plastic bag.

Yield: 1-1/3 cups (13 ounces).
