Steps:
- Place almonds and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of a food processor; process to a meal-like consistency, scraping down the sides and over the bottom of the bowl as needed. Don't overprocess it--at this point, the mixture should still be crumbly, not paste-like.
- Add egg white and almond extract; process until it lumps together. If it remains crumbly, add more egg white, a few drops at a time.
- Use a silicone spatula to remove almond paste from the food processor. It not using it right away, wrap it in waxed paper and store in an airtight container to use within a few hours. Or, place the wrapped almond paste in a freezer bag and freeze for up to six months.

ALMOND PASTE
Steps:
- Place the sugar, honey and water in a saucepan and bring to a strong boil. Place the almonds in the food processor and grind until coarse. Remove the boiling sugar from the heat and pour over the coarse almonds. Blend until smooth. This may take 10 minutes or more, depending on the strength of the food processor. Remember, food processors are not usually strong enough to yield the same consistency as the almond paste that you can buy. If your mixture is too thick and the food processor is straining, you can add a little Kirsch or simple syrup to the processor. Add the liquid slowly and stop when the processor is moving more freely. The quality of almond paste is determined by how smooth the consistency is.
- Wrap the almond paste in plastic wrap and allow it to cool. When you are ready to use it, knead in the butter. The butter makes it smooth and not so sticky.

VEGAN ALMOND PASTE
This almond paste is egg-free, making it vegan and allergy friendly. The boiled syrup helps to bind the paste in the way that egg does in non-vegan versions.

Steps:
- Place almonds in the bowl of a food processor; process to a meal-like consistency, scraping down the sides and over the bottom of the bowl as needed. Don't overprocess it--at this point, the mixture should still be crumbly, not paste-like.
- Combine 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook over medium heat for 4 minutes. Start checking the temperature with a candy thermometer every minute or so, and continue to cook until it reaches 240 degrees F (115 degrees C) and is a medium-thick syrup, about 6 to 8 minutes longer. Don't overcook the syrup, otherwise it will harden when cool.
- Remove from the heat and stir in almonds and almond extract. Return to the heat and cook, stirring with a spatula and scraping over the bottom and down the sides of the pan to prevent scorching, just until the almond paste holds together, 30 to 60 seconds. Be careful not to cook it for too long, or it will caramelize.
- Remove from the heat. When cool enough to handle, use it right away, or wrap it in waxed paper and store in an airtight container to use within a few weeks. Or, place the wrapped almond paste in a freezer bag and freeze for up to six months.

Steps:
- Place the almonds in a food processor and process until very finely ground.
- Using a wooden spoon, mix the confectioner's sugar with the ground almonds until they are completely blended.
- In a separate bowl, break the eggs and beat until they are frothy.
- Pour them into the sugar and almond mixture.
- Work the mixture using a clean odor-free wooden spoon or a spatula first and then using your hands until it comes away from the sides of the bowl.
- Almond paste can be held for several days when wrapped in plastic film and stored in the refrigerator.
- Notes: The proportion of the ingredients can be modified according to the end result that you wish to achieve; for example, you can use double the amount of sugar in respect to the almonds to obtain a sweeter and denser paste.
- You don't necessarily have to use confectioner's sugar, which makes for a very smooth paste.
- You can use ordinary sugar to obtain a more granular effect.
- Eggs: The function of this ingredient is to bind the sugar and the almonds.
- If you use only egg whites, you will obtain a soft paste, while whole eggs give a more medium-textured paste.
- Almond paste made with egg yolks is thick and compact.
- When you are mixing the almond paste, the egg should be added gradually, with a small amount of orange flower water.
- If you see that the paste is becoming too wet, you can keep back some of the eggs.
- Mixing almond paste: Be careful not to handle the mixture for too long: if almonds get too hot, they tend to give out their oil, and the paste will turn out greasy.

FOOD PROCESSOR ALMOND PASTE
Almond paste is used in many recipes. You can buy it in the baking section of most supermarkets and then tint and color it yourself, but it is much fresher and cheaper to make your own. It's good to make it at least a week in advance so that the flavor of the almonds can ripen fully. It will keep for six months, refrigerated.

Steps:
- Combine the sugar, water, and corn syrup in a pan and cook, without stirring, until the temperature is 235 degrees F. Then stir in the almond extract.
- While the syrup is heating, preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Put the peeled almonds on a cookie sheet and leave them just long enough to warm up, about 8 to 10 minutes. Then, while they're still warm, grind them in a food processor until the texture is fine and smooth. If necessary, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water to loosen the mixture and make it easier to process.
- With the food processor going, gradually pour in the syrup in a slow, steady stream. Process until the paste is uniform. Remove it from the work bowl, wrap it well in plastic wrap, and refrigerate it until needed. To make it soft and easy to work with, put it in a warm place, such as on top of the stove while the oven is on, or heat it in a double boiler or a steamer set over simmering water.
