Posted by CookinMom at recipegoldmine.com April 27, 2001

1/2 cup whole almonds (with or without skins)
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon Beau Monde seasoning (or use 1/4 teaspoon each of salt,
celery salt and onion salt)
1/8 teaspoon each of thyme, marjoram and savory_
1 teaspoon dry parsley flakes

Combine almonds and butter in saucepan or skillet; sauté over low heat
for about 5 minutes or until roasted, stirring often. Lift nuts with
fork or slotted spoon and drop into bowl that has one of the seasonings
mixtures; toss well.

If you want almonds that are more crisp turn seasoned almonds onto
cookie sheet and place in 350 degree F oven for 10 minutes.
Cool - store in closed jar to keep fresh.
