Black Walnuts

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