*Honey Roasted Almonds*

Ingredients:
2 cups of raw almonds roasted at 350 for 10 min.
2Tbls.each- honey and water
2 tsp. canola oil
¼ cup sugar
½ tsp salt

Mix sugar and salt and set aside. Stir together, honey, water, and oil in a pan and bring to a boil. Immediately stir in nuts and continue to cook and stir until liquid is absorbed, about 5 min. Turn off heat and sprinkle in the sugar and salt mixture, and toss until evenly coated. Pour onto sprayed cookie sheet

Note: I recommend sprinkling more salt on the the almonds after spreading onto cookie sheet if you like a more salty taste!

When almonds are cool break up and store in airtight container at room temperature for up to a month.
Here's a "You Tube" video with the easy instructions.
Thanks!
and
have a delicious day!
Your friendly California Almond Grower!

I love to get those big sack of nuts at Costco and roast them -- our favorite is rosemary roasted walnuts.
I've never done anything with honey but these look good --
