Pickled walnuts - how?
 

I found a couple of walnuts on the ground which are obviously
not yet ready to eat as walnuts, so I wondered how one goes
about pickling them.

I did have a recipe once but I've forgotten it. :-(

*However* the bit I remember is you prick them with a pin, if you detect a
shell inside it's already too late (the shell has formed). I suppose in that
case it'll be too late for the whole crop on the tree.

You could do that much without breaking the bank!

Take a look here, some links are out of date.

If it is still available, get hold of Mabey "The Penguin Book of
Jams, Jellies and Chutneys" or something like that. Be warned:
he can't taste "bitter" and so recipes like rowan berry jelly are
uneatable to people who can.

Both recipes are a bit long for me to post now - sorry. I have
made both, and prefer the more complicated one, but the other is
the traditional pickled walnut.

Google is a wonderful thing.
Try "how to pickle walnuts" in the search window :-)

Hmm, usually good advice, although the first three hits don't work, and the
fourth one is in Welsh. The fifth is about planning school meals, and
eventually you get to one which suggests something relevant!!!!

Take care,

John.

What is a 'search window'?

And, what is 'Google'?

Whilst trying to work out where to find this, I had a brilliant thought,
I wondered if Mrs Beaton had a recipe, and low and behold,
when I looked in the index there was pickled walnut!

Both recipes are a bit long for me to post now - sorry. I have

the traditional pickled walnut.

If Mrs Beatons recipe doesn't taste very nice I'll be back!
