This should yield 1 1/3-1 1/2 cups chopped nuts. Combine the nuts, vodka, and vnilla bean in a 1 quart Mason jar. Seal the jar, shake to mix, and set it aside in a cool, dark place for at least 10 days. Strain the liquor through a fine sieve into a 4 cup glass measuring cup and discard the residue in the sieve. Rinse the sieve and the Mason jar thoroughly. Fit the sieve with a damp coffe filter and strain the flavored vodka back into the jar. Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Continue to boil for 2 minutes, until a clear syrup forms. Remove the pan from the heat and cool to room temp. When the syrup is cool , add it to the Mason jar. Add the vanilla and glycerin. Seal the jar and shake it gently to blend. The liqueur can be transferred to a decanter. The almond Liqueur should be ready to drink in 2-3 days and has a shelf life of 2-3 weeks. NOTES : Yield-2 cup.
