How to Make How To Blanch Split Sliver Almonds
- Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small saucepan.
- Place 1 cup of shelled almonds (skins on) in a heat-safe bowl.
- Pour the boiling water over the almonds, ensuring they are fully submerged.
- Let them soak for 2-3 minutes.
- Drain the almonds in a fine-mesh sieve.
- Once cool enough to handle, gently squeeze each almond; the kernel should easily slip out of its skin.
- **To split:** Use a sharp knife to carefully separate the almond halves.
- **To sliver:** Soak the blanched almonds for an additional minute to soften the kernels. Then, using a sharp knife, slice each almond into 3-4 thin slivers.
- (Optional) For perfectly crisp slivers, spread them on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 300°F (150°C) oven for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden and dry.
- Use your blanched, split, or slivered almonds as desired in your favorite recipes!
