Blanched Almonds – Blanching almonds at home is much more cost-effective than buying them. Follow this simple step-by-step tutorial on how to skin almonds to make your own blanched almonds at home.
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw unprocessed almonds with skins on
- Boiling water to cover
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to boil

- Squeeze each almond to remove the skin.
- Let the almonds dry completely and discard the skins.
Notes
- To blanch almonds in the microwave, put the almonds in a microwave safe bowl, cover with water by at least a half an inch, and heat on the high setting for 2-3 minutes. Drain, cool, and squeeze off the skins.
