I know they have cyanide in them, lol, but I think maybe the small amount used was harmless yet enhanced the flavor?<br /><br />I prefer to use "real" nuts like walnuts or almonds if I am gonna make a conserve like that!G.

My grandma used to get them and make the best Pottawatomie plum jam in the world. She had jars and jars of produce in her cellar, including some white peaches I think she grew on her place.G.
