[Sca-cooks] OP - almond extract

[Sandra Kisner]

Our local food coop no longer sells "bulk" almond extract.  They do 
carry it bottled (Frontier, organic), but when I was looking at the 
ingredients list I noticed it didn't mention alcohol.  It's apparently 
an aqueous solution of bitter almond extract.  I knew non-alcoholic 
extracts were available, but I've never used them in the past.  Is the 
flavor profile/strength different?  Different shelf life?  Should I go 
for it, or hunt down a "regular" alcohol-based extract at the grocery store?
