Wonderful post matey. You could go with the classic approach at preservation which is to pickle them. I've made butters before but I wasn't over the moon with the finished product. However once shelled and with proper moisture control, and containers they will hold a season with ease. After that you have got a wonderful protein source for things like flap jacks and snack bars... not to mention the myriad of deserts you could make. Great post my friend. :)
Pickling nuts? I need to look that up.
We decided to make butter with them, and the nut-lovers around me said it was delicious. Not a real fan myself.
However, we decided to roast part of them in the oven, covered with agave syrup, cinnamon and cocoa powder. Yummy. They were so good! I could eat those every day. I was planning to do a post about it, but I ate them before I thought of taking a picture, lol.
Well, I'll be collecting some more nuts today, maybe that post will happen a bit later.
Lol. I've done the same with a lot of my harvests both in the garden and with foraging. Get it in the kitchen, make something out of it, then realise after that I could of made a post out of what I had just cooked. I hope you're looking after yourself and your autumn is turning out to be a fun one. It's my favourite time of year with all the harvesting and wild food on offer. I may try your approach listed above with some pecans me thinks. Sounds addictive.
OMG, it really is. The other day, I ate them until I was nauseous. Then realized: I thought I didn't like nuts 😂
Second batch coming up. Will remember to take pics this time
