  • - FREE - BLACK WALNUTS

    For FREE are Black Walnuts, IN THE HUSK, RAW, UNPROCESSED. All natural with no preservtives! They've just fallen from the tree. At present I have one wheel barrow full and should have at least another. I am located in SW Albany county. These nuts are NOT ready to eat. PM if you want them.

    I had a black walnut tree in my back yard at the last house I owned, my solution was a 3 iron.

      I still want a small bucket full of them, just to try. Boiling seems like the easiest way to open them, or maybe use my vise in the basement. Maybe I'll even try my hand at making a black walnut stain. lol

      That is a NICE looking bunch of meat!

      I can still find a use for my thumb, even though it no longer has a hole to finger.

      I could have been enjoying his nuts.

          POP, you can have as many as you want... Let me know when.

          Google the processing of walnuts.

            The tree lived in my neighbor's yard on the property line but 95% of the canopy (and hence the fruit) was over my property. I just used the golf club to pitch them back across the fence to their rightful owner.

            BTW: they have some nasty azz leaves that make raking a bltch. I hated that tree.....

                Hey Tony, I just finished washing my nuts! Thanks!

                Only had 5 floaters... Those will go out by the bird feeders for the squirrels if they want them.

                  Hey, nice nuts... Hope you had fun ! I'm going to assume you read somewhere that if they float they're empty???

                    Actually, I read that if they float, they are no good. They will be bitter. Edit: I also just read that if they float, they aren't worth cracking because there is little meat in the shell. Either way, it's a simple test since after I got them out of the hulls, they still needed to be washed. I put them in a garbage can, filled it with water from the garden hose, and used an old car washing hose attachment to scrub and beat them clean. I had to change the water multiple times.

                    Now I just have to dry my nuts properly, and then it will be time for the hardest part. Cracking them!

                    I have read multiple websites about how to process black walnuts. This instructable had some good info, for anyone wanting the basics.

                      So when I was "processing" the nuts, one glove got a hole in it. Looks like I'll be sporting a black walnut stained thumb for a week or two. lol

                          I counted my nuts tonight, there's about 380.

                          Couldn't upload my thumb pic earlier, so here it is now. If I concentrated the black walnut "juice", I could have a really dark stain.

                            Looks good ! At least it is not black like the hand of the guy in the other picture you posted... I hope they taste good. I'm sure you'll let us know.

                              Yeah, those were some really "ripe" nuts they were gathering!

                              There was one black walnut out of the bunch that looked like it got clipped by a lawnmower blade, and I could see the meat inside. Even though it wasn't properly processed (dried, cured, whatever you want to call it) yet, I cracked it open since the shell integrity was compromised already, and I wanted to taste it for comparison. The nut was still somewhat soft, not crunchy at all, and it tasted mild and sweet, with a slight apple-y flavor. I'm looking forward to trying another one in a week or so to see how the flavor changes!
