Combine the cocoa, sugar and salt in a heat-proof bowl over simmering water. Stir the mixture with a whisk until blended, then add the hot water. Stir over simmering water until the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture is hot, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Cool. Cream the butter with the vanilla and almond extract. Add the lukewarm chocolate mixture, continuing to beat until well blended. Add nuts and scrape mixture into a clean jar. Makes 2½ cups.
