Use a cider press to press the oil out.
Line the cage of the press with a nylon mesh bag. Fill to within 3 cm of the top. place a bucket under the spout. Ratchet down the press. bright green oil will start flowing out. Keep the pressure on until there is no more oil coming out or you hear the pits start to crack... they make it taste bitter, so stop then. Let the oil settle. Any water present will be at the bottom. The drying process you started with should have eliminated most of the water though. You can use your oil immediately.
