Black Walnuts
- Gather Black Walnuts when they are dry.
- Wait for the walnuts to soften and brown.
- Toss them if they start growing white stuff on them?
- De-husk the walnuts by rolling them under your foot or another heavy object.
- Clean the walnuts:
- Soak the walnuts in a bucket of water.
- Use a grill-brush attachment or manual scrub brush to clean the walnut shells.
- Fully dry the walnuts out in the sun so they don't rot.
- Hang them in a cool, dry place with ample airflow for up to 6 months.
- Use a walnut cracker to break open the walnuts and use some small snip-snip scissors to pick out the edible pieces.
