RECIPE

 

Almond Pate.
  Blanch and pound one pound of Jordan almonds very
fine ; add a spoonful of water in the pounding to keep
them from oiling, and three-quarters of a pound of fine
sifted sugar ; stir all together over a gentle fire to dry off
the moisture. As it leaves the pan and becomes a stiff
paste put it in pots.
  Or: You may add half an ounce of gum,
soaked in water, thick.
