ORGANIC MESQUITE HONEY ALMONDS WITH FLOR DE SAL - Gluten Free Gift Idea

I love almonds and hope you will too!

ORGANIC MESQUITE HONEY ALMONDS WITH FLOR DE SAL!

So easy to make and the perfect treat to enjoy as a Gluten Free snack any time of the day. 

Make them as a gift or bring them to a party to serve with drinks!

The honey is from the native organically managed mesquite forest of Northern Peru. Its slightly smoky flavor gives the almonds a perfectly sweet bite. The sea salt ... just a little goes a long way to enhance the blend of flavors and accentuate the caramel creation from the roasting.

This recipe will serve a small gathering for 4-6 people.

Double ... or double double if making this for gifts!

Ingredients

2 cups Organic raw almonds

2 Tbs butter

2 Tbs Zócalo Gourmet - Organic Mesquite Honey

a pinch or 2 Matiz - Flor de Sal - Sea Salt

Tools

fry pan

spatula or tongs

parchment paper

baking sheet

cooling rack

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.

Place the butter in a fry pan and turn the heat to medium-high. Once the butter begins to melt add the almonds.  Toss the almonds so that they are all covered in the butter and let them cook for 3-4 minutes.  Reduce the heat to medium and add the honey.  Toss the almonds to make sure they are evenly coated.  Cook for 1-2 minutes.  Turn off heat. 

Place a sheet of parchment paper on the baking pan.  Pour the butter and honey coated almonds on to the baking pan.  Spread the almonds out in a layer, allowing the almonds to touch to create clusters. Bake in the oven for 15-17 minutes. The aroma is absolutely amazing! Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes.  Add the sprinkles of Flor de Sal or Sea Salt. Let cool at least 1hour before serving. 

If you are making these for a festive gathering and there are any left over

 Organic Mesquite Honey Almonds with Flor de Sal ...

not likely ...

wrap them in the parchment paper and then in a self sealing bag or glass container, in a cool place, away from heat. Depending on the weather, humidity, they may get a little stickier ... is that such a bad thing?
