Tamari almonds, December 2011
The tamari almonds you find in the bulk section at natural food stores are wonderful, salty, and addictive. However, they’re pricey and, if you’re eating gluten-free, they’re prohibited because traditional soy sauce contains gluten. This recipe gives you almonds comparable to the ones in stores and is quick and easy to make at home.
