How do you "blanch" almonds?

Answer 1

Here's How:
Place almonds in a bowl.
Pour boiling water to barely cover almonds.
Let the almonds sit for 1 minute and no longer.
Drain, rinse under cold water, and drain again.
Pat dry and slip the skins off.

Tips:
Don't let almonds sit in hot water too long or they will lose their crispness.
1 pound of almonds in the shell will yield about 1-1/2 cups shelled.
1 pound shelled = 3 cups whole or 4 cups slivered.

Answer 2

Or you can buy them already blanched - they're the ones that appear only white, because the skins were already removed. Normally blanched almonds are cut as rectangles or little sticks.

Answer 3

Drop them in boiling water for about 1 minute, drain and rinse in cold water. The skins will pop right off.
