Broccoli with Garlic Butter and Slivered Almonds

1 1/2 pounds fresh broccoli, cut into bite size pieces
1/3 cup butter
1 Tbsp brown sugar
3 Tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp white vinegar
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup slivered almonds, lightly toasted

Place the broccoli into a large pot with about 1 inch water in the bottom.  Bring to a boil, and cook for 7 minutes, or until tender but still crisp.  Drain, and arrange broccoli on a serving platter.

While the broccoli is cooking, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat.  Mix in the brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, pepper and garlic.  Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.  Mix in the almonds, and pour the sauce over the broccoli.

Serve immediately.
