I am thinking of doing a batch of smoked almonds (first ever) as I really love the ones from the can and I am on a low carb diet, but don't want to pay 5 bucks for a little can anymore. I am thinking of using Todd's recipe with the egg wash but changing the seasonings to a more savory blend (again, low carb). I have been looking at a lot of the posts on here about smoking nuts and some people brine theirs first. Can someone let me know if it is worth it? I want to make some right, but I also don't want to waste time brining if it doesn't make a tremendous difference.
