Directions:
- In a large heavy skillet, heat almonds, sugar and butter over medium heat.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until almonds are toasted and sugar is a golden brown, about 15 minutes. Watch them carefully, do not scorch.
- Stir in vanilla.
- Spread on buttered aluminum foil; sprinkle with salt and dust lightly with cinnamon, if using.
- Cool and break into clusters.
- VARIATION: For a nice variation, omit the salt and cinnamon, and replace vanilla extract with 1 tablespoon culinary rose water.
- Store in an airtight container; freezes well. Give as gifts, wrapped in small cellophane bags tied with ribbon.
