Walnuts I have plenty

[rascal]

What can I do with them, a friend gave me 3 bags of these. Maybe 3 to 5 kg bags. I use in pate but there's enough here for Africa.
Any uses please and storing please?

My MIL has three trees, I will try to get her recipe for walnut fire water. Pesto is a good one. Are they in there shells?

Pickled walnuts are fantastic. I've always wondered how they are made.

I looked at making them a few years ago, you pickle them when they are in the green state. Too much to it.

I would then spend and afternoon cracking your nuts. We then grade them by size and vacuum pack them. I made this for my BIL birthday

You can shell them and then toast them in the oven in various flavors. Like this:
The Best Cinnamon Sugar Candied Walnuts - California Walnuts

That is walnuts.org. There are a lot of delicious looking recipes there. I liked this one:
Honey Walnut Butter - California Walnuts .

You can also freeze them very successfully. Just shell them and put them in freezer bags and they will last for months.

Yep - as rascal says they are picked green. Then fermented - easiest is to buy Opies pickled walnut. Its funny but they don't really taste like walnuts but they do pack a umami punch. I always have a jar in the cupboard.

People knock traditional British cooking because they are ignorant of what it represents. You bring the walnuts and a big wedge of Stilton. I will bring the Gala pork pies.

We do not have walnuts in the south U.S. Pecans - lots. I crack and freeze. A no brainer.
