Where do you get liquid smoke?

Thanks Jannine, I knew there would be someone who could help me. I have made them before but lost my recipe. Thanks again. Evie

Here's one I got from a gal at my local support group: Cinnamon "Fair" Roasted Almonds 3 cups of almonds or you favorite nuts 1 egg white 2/3 c. Splenda 4 tsp. cinnamon Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking tray or cookie sheet with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. You can also use non-stick aluminum foil. Lightly beat the egg white in a bowl. Add almonds and toss until well coated. In a separate bowl, mix Splenda and cinnamon. Add Splenda/cinnamon mixture to almonds and coat well. Spread nuts on the baking tray and put in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and carefully separate nuts by hand as they may be clumped together. Delicious right out of the oven or put on wax paper to cool! Store in an airtight container.

I make this recipe all the time! They're delicious and keep forever in an air tight container.
