[Sca-cooks] homemade bitter almond extract

[freyja]

OK.  I may be totally insane, but I thought I read once that you can
make your own bitter almond extract from the centers of peach pits
(and other stone fruits?).

If any of you know this to be true (or untrue) please let me know.

I thought I read this in the "Chez Panisse Fruit" book, but I can't
locate it at the moment...

Looking forward to the responses that may come from this!
