Someone bought me a ton of different flavored extracts/essences. Things like amaretto, almond, chocolate fudge, mint, orange, lemon, etc.

Up until now I've been using them for flavoring home-made ice cream, cakes and frostings, but I'm looking for some new uses for them.

Does anyone have any good recipes that call for interesting extracts?

I don't know any, but just from personal exp. make sure you ask about nut allergies when serving food with these extracts - the nut ones - amaretto and almond can cause major issues.

Just hold onto them until you come across recipes. It happens to me every so often.

you may want to try some in a chicken marinade. honey-orange chicken, maybe?

also, you can make some great iced coffee...

I make a lemon bundt cake from....I think kosher by design...obviously using lemon extract.

Thanks everyone!

Mummie, that's a good idea... I'll try it with chicken!

NJmommy, I think I've made that cake before - sounds good, maybe I'll have a chance to make it this week.

Keep the ideas coming - I really want to use them!

Ask pink for the mint brownie recipe, and instead of using mint in that layer use a different extract. It will taste great.

I have the cookbook Wink

I love it!

I make those all the time, but I think I'll try a new version. What do you think - chocolate orange brownies? Chocolate amaretto brownies?
