Do you use them in baking? And how in the heck do you go about getting them out of the fruit and cracking them?
So many questions, but I harvested a bunch a while back with my dad and we didn’t have the answers to the large sack of nuts we collected.
you crack them open with a nut cracker, get the "meat" of the walnut, and break or grind them into smaller bits
How do you get them out of the fruit?
Yeah, I’ve found the meat of the black walnut trickier to get out of those cavities than the brown.
do you have a pick?
No, this was years ago. Have you cracked a black walnut vs a brown one?
Sledge hammer and a concrete pad is the only way.
You mean for nut meat? Yep!
The 1st thing I do is smash the husk with a brick to get that off, then I use a power washer to clean them up. Let them dry out for at least a month & then just break them like any other walnur
I just use a simple nutcracker
Last time I got this many I made a fudge & a nut bar. They were both pretty awesome
