How to remove the skin from nuts
To remove the skin from almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts or any nut bring a pot of water to boil and add the nuts.
Boil the nuts for 8 minutes, remove and strain.
When the nuts are cool enough to handle, rub the nuts with your fingers to remove the skin. For more knobbly nuts like walnuts, use a paring knife to remove the skins.
