Walnuts :-(
 

Lots of them. They make good soup. But, as none have ripened
due to the non-summer, they won't keep. From the ones I have
opened, I doubt that many will germinate when planted by the
squirrels, so that's something.

Mutter. Any other ideas for using them?

Press for oil, it's wonderful to cook with.

Interesting. Thanks very much.

But they are no longer suitable for that, or pickled walnuts, as
they are half-ripe. They can be shelled and made into soup, but
I don't know what else.

How do you make soup out of them?

I have a number which are ripe as well as some which are not!

I understand they can be pickled. Never tried it as have no walnut trees.

Would you like a walnut tree?

I'm sure there are some growing around my garden?

How about pickling them?

How do you make soup out of them?

The recipe came from Jane Grigson's "Good Things", and she took it
from Elizabeth David's "Summer Cooking". It is similar to:

www.astray.com/recipes/?show=Walnut%20soup

However, there is considerable confusion in this thread about what
constitutes a green walnut.

Green walnuts for pickling (and schnapps?) must be picked before
the shells start to form, typically in May or early June, and are
between the size of a large olive and a smallish bantam's egg.

The walnuts for soup should be partly ripe, with fully-formed
shells, and their outsides may be solid and green, black and
flaking or rotting, or have come off entirely.

Walnuts for keeping need to be fully ripe and dry; if not, they
will go mouldy remarkably fast; and it is tricky to get them dry
in the UK. If the summer was too dark and cold, they won't have
much oil in and will shrivel in storage. I won't even try to
keep any of mine this year.

Nick Maclaren.

Nick - can the green walnuts be harvested directly from the tree for soup
or are they too unripe like that? I ask because very few fall to the
ground here - they are all eaten by (crows?)

More likely to be tree rats, also known as squirrels!

I'll swap you for a hazel.
No, not really, I have far too many trees as it is, but thank you for the
offer.
