Blanching Filberts

Directions

1. 1
   {"0":"Blanching with baking soda. I was hesitant to do this step for fear that the baking soda would drastically change the flavor of the nuts.","2":"Much to my surprise, this turned out to be the easiest and quickest method of all. After 3 (or more - test after 3 minutes) minutes of boiling and cooling in a container of ice water, the skins peeled off with just a squeeze.","4":"One thing about the blanching\/boiling method. This method is a two step method. First you skin and then you roast.","6":"Roasted blanch hazelnuts.","7":"Roasted 350 for about 10 minutes."}
