By doing that the nut is able to separate from the inner shell, making it easier to remove. <br /><br />I processed black walnuts for the first time last year, and I thought it was a neat project. I let mine cure for about two months. <br /><br />I have been using the winter months to spot black walnuts and their beak-like buds in preparation for next fall.<br /><br />Hopefully you enjoyed your experiment!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16070989519411756036noreply@blogger.com
