Flavoring for fresh roasted almonds. First roast the almonds,
then -- while still hot -- stir in the sauce and coat them evenly.
Then dry on a cookie sheet in the oven at the lowest heat setting.

Almonds are great for this because the skins readily absorb
flavoring sauces. Hazelnuts work too, but they tend to shed
their skins.
