Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Have a baking sheet ready.
   
2. Roll out pastry on lightly floured surface with floured rolling pin to a 12x9" rectangle. Cut in half lengthwise into 2 equal strips. Transfer 1 strip to baking sheet.
   
3. Microwave almond paste to soften. Roll out between plastic wrap to 11x3 1/2" rectangle. Remove wrap; center almond paste on pastry strip on sheet; spread with preserves.
