Yes, I mean the skinned ones, but slivered-- cut into
small pieces, but longish ones. You could skin them
yourself. (Blanche them by pouring boiling water over
them in a pot and setting it aside for three minutes.
Drain off the water and slip the skins off by
squeezing the almonds between your thumb and fingers.)
But then you need to cut them into pieces to measure
out the right amount because whole almonds take up
more space in the measuring cup than chopped or
slivered ones, so you won't get the same amount.
Blanched slivered almonds are easy to find and not
expensive, in bulk bins at supermarkets and health
food stores.
