clootie Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 My walnut trees are laden with fruit and I hate walnuts, well except in carrot cake !! The squirrels are having a ball but if anyone wants them by the truck load, you're very welcome to them !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clootie Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 I shouldn't imagine it would be very much chicky - how many do you want missus? I'm sure they'd be fine in newspaper and tucked up in a box overnight wouldn't they? Straight off the tree mind, in their little green husks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen & co. Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Clootie, how do you manage to get them before the squirels? Our tree is full again but I swear the squirels sit up there laughing at me as they steal the nuts They strip the hazel trees too Karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Webmuppet Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Can I be really stoopid and ask what do you do with green walnuts ?( I have only ever used the walnuts from the supermarket that are in little packets) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 here's the recipe for vin de noix in case anyone wants it. We're going to make it with clooties nuts, way hey! Don't ask me what it's like as never made it before but I've heard from my French pal that's rather like port and very nice. http://www.practicallyedible.com/edible.nsf/pages/vindenoix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the inspiration Poet and JackiePoppies, and the biggets thanks goes to Cloots for the Walnuts in the first place Edited to say, its now made, all I have to do is wait for 4 month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Hi Clootie If you still have Walnuts I'd love some as well. Especially if they are still in their green sheels as I understand this is what you use to make pickled walnuts. My MIL's mother loves pickled walnuts and they are very hard to get hold of !
