I may have to cancel Christmas

[Stacey Steve]

Took the day off yesterday to do some Christmas shopping and put up the decorations.

Went to Tesco and they didn't have any pickled walnuts!

Got home and went on line to see if it was just that store or all of them, no not listed!!

Boy child went to Costco and they didn't have any!!!

I'm panicking a bit now.

I haven't heard on the news that there was a massive walnut crop failure, no reports of aliens taking them away.

Where are my Pickled Walnuts?

I cannot have Christmas without them, it just wouldn't be natural.

HELP!!!!!!

[Nicos]

Loads of walnuts this year- maybe you need to try Waitrose or somewhere like that?

Don't panic- plenty of time yet!

[Hans Mum]

I didn't even know you could get pickled walnuts.

*hides from walnuts, pickled or otherwise

I have a nasty allergy to the lil blighters

[Headfry]

Waitrose SS you must go they always have them......dont they????
Better get myself some, just to be sure............I LOVE PICKLED WALNUTS!

[Bren In Pots]

Just wondering are Pickled Walnuts soft or hard ?

[Headfry]

Black and soft, they are pickled before the shells 'set' and are lovely but not to everyone's taste I must add!
yummy with cold cuts and a jacket potato ;-)

[OllieMartin]

How can you tell if the shell has set without breaking it open?
Might have to make some of these next season.

[SarzWix]

If you have to 'break' the shell, then it's set

[piskieinboots]

I've just come back from Waitrose and picked up a pot of pickled walnuts for Snowdrop as he adores them, but he won't be kissing me!

[Brengirl]

and I have just seen them for sale in Jewels & Barratt, the dried fruit and nut shop.

If you have to 'break' the shell, then it's set

So do you remove the green husk before pickling? I'd assumed that was the part you pickle.

[Alison]

Never heard of pickled walnuts? Do you eat them as a snack or in something?

[Florence Fennel]

I've probably got a jar of pickled walnuts at the back of the cupboard from last year. I'll find it when I buy another jar this year because you just have to have them.
