List of Ingredients




Whole, unskinned almonds

Recipe



Peeling almonds is a bit tedious, but incredibly easy. You just cover them with boiling water for one minute, then rinse in cold water to cool them off. Then all you do is "pinch" them and they pop right out (sometimes across the kitchen!). I got to a point where I would kind of twirl each individual almond between my fingers and thumb and they would just slip right out. I wouldn't want to do it as a job, but I won't avoid recipes that call for them anymore.
