Scooby Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I thought NH's estimate was a bit out - friends of ours make it and it's usually ready in months not years...a bit like sloe gin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Be careful about green walnuts. They give you a nasty black stain that you cannot wash off for a long time.

Théière Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 We have a red squirrel in the garden who is actually near black from eating them, I wonder if I could use them as fake tan [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jo Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I have the receipe to pickle walnuts.. where can I buy green walnuts? Surely any growers want to leave them on the tree to mature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vissac Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Homemade vin de noix is good stuff. You wouldn't want to drink much more than one glass though. It reminds me more of port than sherry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
