Learn to easily skin a batch of almonds in just minutes with a pot of boiling water.
Share:
Ingredients
- Raw unsalted almonds, more or less as needed
- pot for boiling, strainer
Instructions
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil.
- Place your raw almonds into the boiling water. Let them boil for exactly one minute. Don't boil for any longer than 60 seconds, or your almonds will start to soften.
- Drain the almonds immediately in a colander or strainer and rinse them with cold water to cool them.
- Blot the almonds dry with a paper towel. You'll notice that the skins will be slightly shriveled.
- Use your fingers to gently squeeze the almonds and loosen the skin from them. Careful, if you squeeze too hard they'll shoot across the room-- which is fun, but not super practical! You can squeeze them from one hand into another to keep them from "launching" too far.
- Once you remove the skins, let the almonds dry off completely. Discard the skins.
- Now the almonds are blanched and ready to use in your recipe!
Notes
- You will also need: pot of water, paper towels, colander or strainer.
