ALMOND CHEDDAR APPETIZERS
I always try to have a supply of these appetizers on hand in the freezer. If guests drop in, I just pull some out and reheat to serve. They work great as a snack, for brunch or along with a lighter lunch. -Linda Thompson, Southampton, Ontario

ALMONDS (GREAT APPETIZER WITH DRINKS)
I don't know where the recipe originated from. I use them as an appetizer...but if you use sliced almonds...they would be great on top of a 'hearty' salad.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the almonds onto a baking sheet, and toast until the nuts start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, about 10 minutes. Watch the nuts carefully as they bake: they burn quickly.
- Stir together the sugar, salt, and cayenne pepper in a mixing bowl; set aside.
- Stir together the water, honey, and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the mixture begins to bubble, stir in the toasted almonds until evenly moistened. Pour the almonds into the sugar and spice mixture, and toss until evenly coated. Spread onto baking sheets in a single layer, and cool to room temperature.

- Choose fresh almonds for the best flavor and texture.
- If you're using raw almonds, toast them in a single layer in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or until they're golden brown and fragrant.
- To make garlic butter, simply combine softened butter, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- For a spicy twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika to the garlic butter.
- If you don't have time to make garlic butter, you can use store-bought butter or olive oil instead.
- Garnish the almonds with fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or thyme.
- Serve the almonds immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
