Dried Fruits and Nuts: Almonds

To Blanch Almonds Cover shelled almonds with boiling water, let stand two minutes, drain, cover with cold water, again drain. Brown skins can be easily slipped off with the fingers. Dry the nuts on a towel or piece of cheesecloth. Pistachio nuts and English walnuts may be blanched in the same way.

Salted Mixed Nuts Beat the white of one egg slightly, add nut meats of many kinds, and stir until they are entirely covered with the egg. Remove nuts from the egg and put in a dripping pan, sprinkle with salt and bake in a hot oven until nuts are heated through. Keep oven door open while baking, and stir nuts often, that they may not burn.
