HOW  TO  SOFTEN,  PEEL  &  SLIVER  ALMONDS

日本語


How to peel
In a pot, for every cup of almonds bring 3 cups of water to a boil.

Add the almonds into the boiling water.

Let them boil for about 70 seconds (if you boil longer, almonds will start to soften).

Drain the almonds in a colander and rinse them with cold water to cool them. You'll notice that the skins will be slightly shriveled.

Use your fingers; press an almond between your thumb and index finger and the peel comes right off.

​You can squeeze them from one hand into another to keep them from "launching" too far.

How to sliver almonds

Set the almonds on a chopping board. Hold an almond horizontally and separate the two halves with a sharp knife.

​Depending on the size of the almond, slice each halve into 2 to 3 slivers.

Storage

You can spread out the slivered almonds on a baking sheet to dry out or put them into the oven, heated at 150 degrees Celsius, for three minutes, to dry and toast them. Use as desired.

Store any unused slivers in an airtight container, in a cool, dark place, retaining their crunchy taste and flavor by preventing exposure to moisture.

How to soften almonds

There is a pleasure in eating crunchy almonds, but not all agree with the sentiment. Elderly and those who do not have strong teeth and gum unwillingly avoid eating almonds.

There is an easy solution for people in that predicament. You can use the above mentioned method to soften the almonds or simply soak them in fresh water over night.

Soak as much as you want to eat over a day. You can’t keep them long because after a day or two tiny white molds grow on them.
