How to Freeze Almond Paste

Almond paste consists of ground almonds or almond meal and sugar. Almond paste can also contain cooking oil, eggs, corn syrup and heavy cream, which binds the almonds and sugar. Almond paste has a similar texture to marzipan, but marzipan contains more sugar. If you have leftover almond paste you can store it tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for three months, or you can prepare it for the freezer to save for up to 12 months. Does this Spark an idea?
