2 cups whole natural almonds
2 Tbsp. soy sauce

In small saucepan blend soy sauce with honey. Stir in orange peel, garlic and ginger. Bring mixture to a boil.

Stir in almonds; toss to coat evenly. Boil, stirring constantly, until liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.

Toss with almond oil. Place almonds on cookie sheet in a single layer, separating almonds.
