While Bob is mentioning the Phobia of Poisonous Pits, I would ask two 
questions:
1] Is it unlikely that fermenting plums with the pits in the mash would leak 
any poison into the
juice?  {Since most pits are rather tightly sealed I would think it unlikely.]
2] I understand Bitter Almonds, from which Almond Extract is pressed, is 
grown separately from the
sweet almonds.  Does anyone else like a bitter almond, like I do?   I know, I 
know, the bitter
means cyanide and is bad for me.
