Almond Paste Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Almond Paste Recipe). This recipe is for those of you who wish to make your own almond paste. I prefer making my own. When I feel lazy, I purchase it in specialty stores. Rose water can be substituted for the almond extract, and can be purchased in Middle Eastern stores, or maybe even health food stores.
