Boil for 3 minutes. The water will turn jet black from the skins. Test a nut to see if you can easily squeeze the skin off. If not, boil a little longer. Rinse nuts well after removing all the skins and dry. Roast if desired for optimum flavor. This is MUCH easier than roasting and rubbing the skins.Patricia @ ButterYumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497226806665401448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503994994675408248.post-83118511742533439852008-12-23T16:09:00.000-08:002008-12-23T16:09:00.000-08:00Uh, yum!
