Salted Almon s.

Chicago Record. During the last few years the salting of nuts has become a profitable business, It is mostly in the hands of the confectioners, although there are a nnmber of small concerns which are engaged in it as an independent business. Pistachio nuts, peanuts and almonds are the nuts chiefly salted. The process is so simple that any housewife can easily perform it. First, the nuts are “bleached” by dipping them quickly in to boiling hot water. This serves to remove any particles of chaff or dirt and to soften up the exterior of the nut. After being partially dried they are then placed in a bath of hot salted olive oil or butter and allowed to remain a minute or two. The olive; oil is better than butter, but it is more expensive. On being dipped out the nuts are placed in an oven and baked or else crisped in a roasting pan. The process originated In Paris about twelve years ago. Probably the best salted nuts are Jordan almonds from Spain. They cost about eighty cents a pound. “Schrage’s t 1,000,000 Rheumatic Cure” never failed. Pure. sure. Doctors praise it.
