BHi, Could anyone give me the method of making almond paste for filling almond cakes/cookies?.
I know that the ingredients are ground almonds, liquid glucose and castor sugar but I don't know the proportions or method.
Also, is it necessary to refridgerate it. I live on a yacht with minimal refrigeration.
Thanks, Peter Hendra, N.Z. yacht Herodotus
Why not just buy marzipan? Same thing and ready made if purchased as the plain stuff, not chocolate coated.
If you want to make your own, here are two versions... [SEE
Marzipan cooked
3 cups sugar 1 cup water 4 cups ground blanched alm>BHi,======================================================= Copyright retained. My opinions - no one else's... If this is illegal where you are, do not read it!
Actually, you can buy almond paste. There is a difference, I believe in the amount of sugar, between almond paste and marzipan. I'm sure someone will know. Sokol foods makes almond paste. If it isn't available locally, they will ship.
I copied this from Pure Chocolate - Divine Desserts and Sweets from the Creator of Fran's Chocolate
2004 ISBN 0-7679-1658-1"Almond Paste, NOT THE SAME AS MARZIPAN, is a paste of almonds and sugar. Look for one with less than 25% sugar for a good almond flavor. It can be found in tubes and cans in the baking section of the supermarket. Once opened, wrap the remaining portion well in foil and store in the refrigerator for as long as two months."
