Paste density about 1.05 g/ml; 4.93 ml per tsp.
Instead of Almond paste
Blanched almond pasteUse the same weight; same flavour and texture. Break up lumps before mixing.
Ground almondsUse the same weight with 25–30% caster sugar and a little water; less smooth and sweeter.
Cashew pasteUse the same weight; softer and milder, with less almond flavour. Good in creamy gravies.
