Almond Paste

1-1/2 cups (8 ounces) whole blanched almonds
1-1/2 cups (5 ounces) sifted confectioners' sugar
1 egg white
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

In a food processor, grind half the almonds until very fine. Remove
and repeat with 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 store,
tightly sealed, in a plastic bag. For recipe using above paste see
