It's much quicker to blanch them using the TMX than just hot water. The TMX seems to release the skins so much better.

How exactly do you blanch them in the TMX Cookie, do you start with cold water?

This is from the Festive Book on the Marzipan Stars recipe.

Place almonds in bowl and cover them with water and heat for 4 minutes at Varoma on  :-: speed 1.

I found them very easy to skin after that.
