Cassis Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 A better idea would be to swap stuff with your neighbours. You ask them if they want a bag of nuts, they say thanks and take them. Some time later they will offer you a bag of peaches/a chicken whatever. Much better to exchange gifts between friends. If you intend to sell your produce I would imagine you'll have to register with the CdeC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pads Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 cherries can be perserved in alcohol or frozen , made into jams or juiced, ( frozen cherries are nice popped into drinks ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andymr Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I,ve got 250kg of walnuts stored in wooden crates in the cave, they are all going mouldy! I don't even like walnuts much, but didn't know what to do with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Your cave has a damp problem! [:)]Smash them with a mashie (club hammer) and feed them to the birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 There's a nut mill just north of Sarlat, at St Nathalene. I'm pretty sure that they will press your nuts for you (oh dear) and you'll then have enough salad oil to give your friends for Christmas.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony F Dordogne Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Hi AndyIf they're mouldy on the outside - like the nuts are still in their shells - the insides are likely to be ok still, depends on a number of factors. Happy to come look at them though.If you're looking to get rid of 30 kilos or so I'd be happy to take them off your hands for you - nuts in honey, plum and nut jam, nut tarts .........I'm just down the road from you so let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I was thinking of this year's crop Andy. It might be worth a trip or a phone call to check if they will do it in October. Last time I was there they were afraid they might be closed down because of the new European Health and Safety regulations.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
