Glazed Almonds |
These
almonds are delicious and so easy to make. No need to buy the
expensive store bought variety because you can whip these fresh ones up
in just a few minutes. They are so worth it and make a beautiful
garnish and presentation on a salad.
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup slivered almonds
pinch salt
Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add sugar, almonds and salt. Stir gently and constantly until sugar melts and sizzles a little and almonds brown. (No multitasking while making these!) You've got to be right there stirring until they are done. It will only take a few minutes! When ready to serve salad, toss Glazed Almonds on the salad just before serving, as they will get soggy if left on the salad too long.
Wanted you to know that this has become a favorite of our families. Dustin LOVES the dressing... says he always feels tempted just to drink it straight... except that would be well... gross. We miss you, but think of you often, especially as we eat great food inspired by you. Hope you're doing well.
