Homemade Amaretto

I got my first taste of Amaretto in Bali 2 years ago. It was served in a shot glass together with tiramisu...and I never forgot that "first time". Thereafter, I spent many comings and goings in DFS looking for Amaretto - its not very common. I finally got my hands on one; its great just drizzled on desserts/ice-cream, yum! Then I found out you could make Amaretto at home! Something I could totally make as gifts during Christmas!
