Where do I find almond paste in the GBA (Greater Boston Area)?

Are we talking marzipan or non-sweet almond paste? I want to say you can find rolls of marzipan almond paste at shaw's, but my info is three years old.

Traditional almond paste is pretty easy to make. If you don't feel like making it, I can make you some.

Basically:
one pound blanched almonds
one pound confectioners sugar
three egg whites

Mill the almonds nice and fine in a food processor.

Incorporate the sugar.

Add eggwhites.

That's it.

You are Mr. Resourceful. :)

I think I'm going to take the easy way out on this one, though, as I have a lot to prepare this week.

Fruit Center in Milton.
Whole Foods
Any grocery store, if you wait till a little closer to Christmas.
Cardullo's in Harvard Square.

Awesome; thanks.

I think I saw some at Johhny's Foodmaster a couple of weeks ago (again, depending what kind you're looking for). I also wouldn't be surprised if you could get it somewhere like some of the Armenian grocery stores along Mt. Auburn in Watertown.

Cardullo's in Harvard. They sell it in the candy aisle, near the honey.
