Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal with pea size bits of butter. Drizzle in 1/4 cup ice water and pulse until the dough begans to come together. Turn out into a 9 inch glass pie plate (not deep dish) and press into the bottom and up the side about 1/4 inch above the rim. Pierce all over with a fork and chill intil firm, about 30 minutes.

Bring to a boil over meidum-high heat and cook, swirl the pan but not stirring, until amber, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the almonds and salt.
