that is a lot simpler than my dad doing it on the stove, im making linzer torte cookies and i made linzer torte a few days ago. linzer torte is the same as the linzer torte cookies but the cookies are cut out

I gotta do a lot more almonds than a little cup. I do it like my mom did. Bring water to a boil on the stove add almonds and let them boil about a minute or two. Dump into a colander and run cold water over them. Pinch each almond in your fingers and the skin comes right off. It would take me all year if I had to peel each one like that.
