1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
2 teaspoon water
1-1/2 cup shelled, unblanched almonds
2 teaspoon butter or margarine
1/2 teaspoon salt (more, if needed)
Mix together liquid smoke and water; pour over almonds and mix to cover all almonds. Place in shallow Pyrex pan, cover and let stand overnight. Next day heat almonds in 300 degrees oven. When they are warm add about 1 teaspoon butter. Toss to coat almonds, adding more butter if necessary. Roast in oven 40 to 45 minutes, stirring frequently. Sprinkle with salt to taste. Cool and store in a covered container.
