Ingredients

• the Julia Child/Alice Medrich method for peeling the hazelnuts rather than the oven method (which did not work for me).

Preparation

Step 1

1. Add 3 Tbs of baking soda to 2 cups of boiling water.
2. Add the hazelnuts and boil for about 3 minutes until the skin removes easily from a hazelnut that you tested.
3. Pour the contents into a colander and run under cold water. Fyi, the water will be black.
4. Remove skin. I used a paper towel to help remove the skin.
