Ingredients
Directions
Crack the almonds and place the nuts in a bowl with cold water.
Cook until just boiling, then pour off the hot water and add very cold water.
Remove the shells and dry the almonds on a cloth in a very low heat oven.
Use the blanched almonds in macaroons, meringues, or other recipes.
