Honey Roasted Almonds

I found this recipe for some honey roasted almonds and I tried it.  It was super easy and super yummy!

2 C whole almonds, skins on

1/4 C sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

2 TBL honey

2 TBL water

1tsp. almond or vegetable oil

Spread the almonds in a single layer in a shallow ungreased baking pan and place in a cold oven.  Bake at 350 degrees, stirring occasionally, until the internal color of nuts is tan (12-15 minutes).  Remove from oven and set aside.

Thoroughly mix the sugar and salt.  Stir together the honey, water and oil in a medium size pan and bring to a boil over medium heat.  Stir in the roasted almonds and continue to cook and stir until all the liquid has been absorbed by the nuts (about 5 minutes).  Immediately transfer to a medium bowl and sprinkle sugar mixture over all and toss.  Spread on  wax paper and cool.

(I mix the sugar and salt in a medium bowl and dump the nuts in it and the stir it up.)

I just love these and think they are so yummy!  I hope you enjoy them too!
