Is there such a thing as powdered almond extract or flavor? (Yeah, yeah,
I'll look it up.) Have you used it? Any pitfalls? I don't wish to
to use ground almonds instead.
I await your counsel and advise.
Thanks.

In the order of the questions you asked:

Yes.
No.
No idea.

What are you thinking of doing with such a powder?

Ground almonds taste nothing like almond extract... almond extract is
very bitter, they are not interchangeable. In fact much almond
extract is made from peach and apricot seeds.

I'm afraid to ask why.

The very last extracted from my garden, just one seed was an
experiment, will plant more next year... somehow became a clump but
very tasty anus extract: http://i4.tinypic.com/6jvs1uo.jpg

Yes there is

Yes I have

You have to experiment as it flavors very differently from the liquid
versions.

I only have Nature's Flavorsbrand and that's the only one I have ever seen
though I am sure there are probably other manufacturers.

The butternut from them is very tasty.

Good Luck

Ooooo kisses to you and I feel so special. You can't live in Almond country
and not know that answer. Robert's Ferry (an almond processor that has a
store attached) is one of my favorite places. We go about four times a year.
Just the smell. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Hope your secret recipe is a Rawring succes.

I haven't heard of powdered extract (think of the words) and don't
think it would be possible.

However, Barb, I am working on an idea for a new product. With your
marketing genius perhaps you would like to go into partnership with
me .. for a modest investment. I travel a few times a year. WIth
those TSA B.......d's you can't take any container of liquid with you
through security ecen water! So I have developed a new product,
powdered water! Send me your money, and I will send you an empty
bottle (acceptable to those TSA droids), and I will send you an empty
bottle and an envelope of my dehydrated water. Once through
security, pour the powder into the bottle, go to the nearest
fountain, and, as the saying goes, "Just add water." Then you will
have instant fresh water in your very own bottle. Think about it. We
could make millions!

P.S. Ground almonds alone wouldn't work. Extract is mostly alcohol
with a bit of flavor from the whatever subject.

I found some and am now arguing about the shipping cost with them. :-)
I pointed out a significant error on their website and suggested that,
to express their gratitude, they knock off half the shipping cost if I
order 3 jars. I'm waiting to hear. :-) Hope springs eternal. I
offered her some jam. . .

Wow... that recipe looks good. I've never heard of almond *flour*
(but I've heard of almond meal). Your URL was a dud for me, but this
live one has almond flour http://www.low-carb.com/natalflour16.html

What's the web site, what's the significant error, since when are you
too cheap to pay shipping... how much shipping on a little powder,
can't be nearly as much as to ship jars of jam.

Flat rate shipping, $10 for any order under $50. You have to go a ways
into it before finding that out, though, IF you get to the site the way
I did (a Google search). My jar of powdered almond extract is 2.9
ounces and costs $5.79 cents (something like that). $16 is too much for
maybe 1/2 cup of product. And I won't order more unless I know I like
it. And I'll never know that because I won't pay $16 to find out.
Adams Extracts and Spices (I think). Their CSR manager pretty much told
me to like it or lump it. :-) Fair enough. Rules are rules, charges
are charges. They just don't explain it very well.

True, we don't know what goes on in the dark confines of those Minnesota
homes. Do we really know that Barb is spending all that time in the
kitchen with canning, preserving, and pickling?

Cripes.

Maybe they are shipping it from China? If so, who knows what you'd be
getting. Yes, I'm getting very cynical about Chinese products.

Our company is having a very small part made there and part of the
contract says they will send documentation with each shipment to verify
the chemical (plastic) used. We've had to threaten to withhold payment
after the last two shipments to get the documentation, and even then,
who knows if it's true?
