How to blanch almonds - easy and economical

🍴 3 ingredients 👁️ 4 views 📚 Recipes1M

Ingredients

  • 1 Whole raw almonds - you can purchase almonds in their shell and just remove (in the shell is usually cheaper)
  • 1 Water to cover/submerge almonds
  • 1 Microwave safe bowl

Instructions

  1. Place shelled almonds in microwave safe bowl and add enough tap water to really cover/submerge almonds well.
  2. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Dump out water and rinse almonds (I used a strainer for this step).
  4. To remove skin, gently squeeze almond between thumb and forefinger until almond slides out of skin.
  5. Repeat with remaining almonds.
  6. Allow almonds to air dry a bit before using.
  7. Use dry blanched almonds in recipes, to make almond meal/flour, almond paste or marzipan, or whatever your imagination can come up with!!
