| Blanched almonds. |
First Betsey shelled the almonds, then blanched them by covering with boiling water for about a minute (this made it very easy to slip off the brown skins), next she split them in two.
Taking some of the cream, she molded it into balls, pressed flat and put half an almond on each side.
Pecan Creams

Betsey's mother bought the pecans already shelled, as it was almost impossible to shell them without breaking them.
Taking some of the cream, she molded it into balls, pressed flat and put half a pecan on each side.
