Couldn't avoid this for too much longer, really. Plus, I've just read in the current issue of Lifestyle Block Magazine that walnuts are commonly viewed to be the oldest known food tree, dating back to 10,000 B.C. Wow!
It was time to get cracking the walnuts gathered from our trees in the Pet Paddock at Struan Farm, and so I have.
I've learned to use a cheese knife with a sharp pick at the end to assist with the shelling, it saves wear and tear on the fingernails. This is a job that will be accomplished in waves, too many nuts hoarded away to tackle in one sitting (the basket above is the smaller of two that we have filled with nuts....). But I've started, now have a ziplock bag or two in the freezer.
