Fun Facts

The skin is removed by literally "Blanching" the Almonds with hot water. Commercially this is done with steam, but if you need some in a hurry and only have regular almond kernels then pour boiling water over them until they are covered. Let them soak for a minute, then remove them from the water to prevent the almonds from becoming soggy. Then simply slip off and discard the brown skins, work quickly because the skins become increasingly difficult to remove as the almonds dry.
