Almond paste can be pricey so I decided to try and make my own. With a food processor it's super easy

2

Add the salt and confectioners sugar and process until combined, I used the pulse function as well to ensure proper mixing.
3

Add extract and continue to process, again, scraping down sides of bowl if need.
4

Add the egg white and process until smooth. The mixture will come together almost like a dough.
5

Gather all the paste together and roll in hands to form a log. You can also divide the paste to suite your baking needs. Cover in plastic wrap and/or in an airtight container until ready to use. **You can store your almond paste in the fridge for up to a month or in the freezer for up to three months. Yields 1 1/2 cups
