You need to pickle them in strong alcohol, obviously,

I do them on medium and keep going till they taste right...nice and dry and crunchy. Not very accurate - sorry.
Flummery - can't get English walnuts so don't buy them because of the food miles. That's why I get so many cob/hazel nuts, locally produced and organic if I'm lucky, and use them instead of other imported nuts in cooking. and I can't plant one on the allotment sadly they do grow into full sized trees?
When my own cobnut tree gets going....


One enterprising farmer offered them shelled and dipped in chocolate, only the once, when i asked again, he said it took so much effort they'd never done it again but must have a go myself some time, they were delicious.
