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 Country Woman n/d 1993 pg. 29 (Rainbow Cookies - Recipe ID#

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