Default Marzipan vs. almond paste

We chop the almonds and mix it wth sugar and then passed repeatedly
while gradually reducing the gap after each pass until a fine paste is
obtained. A slight amount of water may be added to prevent oiling.
..It is then cooked in a double jacketed pan until it feels dry to the
touch and then stored in a closed container.
