Almonds, Peaches and Plum are from the same family - Prunus.
Hamster can have almonds as long as they are sweet almonds - as bitter almonds are toxic even to humans.
Plum and peaches are perfectly safe to feed to hamsters - it is the stone and the wood that is toxic. This is the same for any fruit which has a stone in it.
Edited - after posting remembered almonds are prunus too!
