I followed your method but after soaking the Almond overnight and then use boiling water method to remove skin, It worked a treat

In reply to Diane. You need to use boiling water and let them soak for 5-10 minutes. Then the skin will come off.

In reply to Nancy Belling. You are welcome. You can easily do all almonds in one batch. It is just about adding some extra hot water.

Thank you so much for telling me how to skin those lovely almonds. I had a 17 oz package to do. I divided them in 6 ozs and did 3 batches. I wasn’t sure if I could do them all together or not

Thanks for the information. I love what you're doing!
Recently, a friend offered me some nuts. They were easier to eat, al dente rather than hard. I asked her secret. At night, she covers the nuts in room temperature water and lets them sit until the morning. It gives them a very pleasing texture. I found that cashews soften very quickly and that 1-2 hours in water is usually enough. I always roast my nuts before I use them. I roast the still wet nuts in the oven, sprinkling them with a little salt if appropriate, until they are the color I like.
