Tips:
This recipe calls for toasted sliced almonds. Toasting raw nuts is easy and a terrific way to intensify their flavor and crunch. To toast nuts spread the raw nuts evenly in a shallow baking dish or cookie sheet. Place in a preheated 350 degree oven and bake for 5 minutes. Nuts can easily burn, so check them often. Toasting can take from 5 to 20 minutes depending on the size of the nuts.
