Ingredients
1 cup MAKES
- 1 Tbsp (30 ml) sherry vinegar

Step 1
Whisk everything but the almonds together in a bowl until the honey is dissolved. Toast the almonds in a pan over medium heat until they become fragrant and begin to brown, about 7 minutes. Add the butter and stir the almonds to coat, letting them cook for another 3 minutes or so. When the butter begins to brown, pour in the honey-vinegar mixture, stir well, and let the liquid reduce to a syrup that coats the almonds. Let them cool down a bit, then serve.
Substitutions: Any other tree nuts or peanuts, separately or in combination
