What goes with Almond?
Sweet almonds offer an oil-rich kernel with a firm bite. Removing the brown skin changes appearance and mouthfeel, while grinding changes the way the seed contributes body to a mixture. A raw kernel, a toasted flake and almond paste should not share one undifferentiated pairing description.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Almond?
Choose whether almond supplies crunch, a soft baked crumb or the body of a sauce. Fruit inside a baked almond mixture has a different role from fruit served as an acidic finish. Match the fruit’s moisture and cut to the almond component, especially when it must bake inside a soft crumb.
