Pickled Walnuts ?

5/1/2013

We have an old walnut tree, Laura's goats have been eating everything they can reach, ie the leaves and nuts.  Hence to beat them to it, I picked everything I could reach. The walnuts have not yet formed a shell, and can be pricked with a fork, soaked in brine for 2 weeks, let dry in the sun until they turn black, then placed in a vinegar solution. I have no idea of the taste but will let readers know. Britain seems to be the only country that makes this "delicacy" because their season is often too short to ripen the nut.
"A woman, a dog and a walnut tree, the more you beat then the better they be"
Thank goodness the first two are no longer acceptable!

How did yours turn out? We're just in the first stage of soaking ours in brine....

Ours turned out ok with a nice resiny flavor and a great texture, but we think the pickle might have been a bit strong. Strong, like pickled onions. Interesting to do as it dyes everything it touches. Always worth the adventure.
