I've made the reference topic almonds many times and I really like them. The powdered salt I sprinkle on doesn't stick after a couple of days, the almonds seem to suck up all of the oil.
Trying something new here ... I salt brined raw almonds for two hours in a strong kosher salt solution. Salt level seems really good. Don't think the almond skins could take any longer in the solution though ... they got a little soft.
They are drying now. I'm going to put a little oil on them then smoke them low for several hours.
Thinking I could put other spices or honey in the brine as well.
