Directions
Easy Homemade Almond Paste (Marzipan), Make your own it’s easy and less expensive! This can stay in the refrigerator for up to 1 week , This is just to correct Steve P ‘s comment Almond paste and Marzipan are not, repeat not the same thing! Almond paste has less sugar and does not contain egg whites The wording insinuates that marzipan DOES have egg in it Actually the difference between the two are the ratios of sugar You can find recipes for both using egg whites; and both without egg whites Depending on its intended purpose though you should choose between one that will be used for modeling, typically marzipan, or baking, typically almond paste The confusion is typical in baking/cooking, methods transcend culture and language barriers, so each language comes up with its own, but then borrows from others Try finding the difference between gelato and ice cream as a good example
