Decided to move my bum on the bike today-came back with a bag of hazelnuts-over 1.5 kg

I too hae got a lot of hazel nuts from a tree in our back lane.
Waiting to see what suggestions you come up with for using them up.

I'm going to crush them
*and eat them

Still have the shoe box full from the last year-never ate them.I was going to use them to cover C*******s rum truffles

There was loooooads of rosehips beside the road-was wondering if all rosehips are edible?Haven't got a picture but they were longish ones-I think they have pale pink flowers(definitely not rosa rugosa)

I gather about 4 massive mixing bowls full of hazelnuts from our tree each year

I was surprised how many peeps here are very happy to tuck into them with a nutcracker with their pre meal drinkies.
I half fill a couple of litre Le Parfait jars with shelled nuts and top up with Calvados and leave for 6 months.
....makes a lovely nutty liquour.

I also sprinkle nuts onto puddings or press into splodges of chocolate along with dried fruit

Yes: (rose petals too). The long ones are rosa canina, most likely

You can make some of these cakeys for me
Or a nut loaf, which is really nice sliced into sandwiches

OH pronounces that as Noo-Tella. He hasn't grasped that it's got Nuts innit...

[burnie]

I made some wine from rosehips once,it was sickly and unpleasant,wouldn't recommend it.
Hazlenuts are for snacking,much heathier than crisps.

OH thinks I'm a nutter.One more trip yesterday

[Nicos]

what are they weighing in at??

I spent 2 hrs on my hands and knees picking mine yesterday- mine don't have the outer casing on them

must weigh mine too- tis certainly less than last year ( thank goodness!)

I just found cobnuts in the school's Wildlife Garden (no, I'm not telling anyone else)

[coreopsis]

The 1st box was 1.5 kg(roughly)without casings.That was 1 bag.On the second day I found a tree loaded with nuts-they started to turn brown but were stiil in the casings-it's handy to pick them straight from the tree-grass underneath is a bit longish.I had 2 bags on the second day so I suppose I have between 4-5 kg.The weight will go down as they are drying off.
