Pickled Walnuts - Recipe
Pickled WalnutsPick the Green Walnuts when they are about the size of a large olive, and before the shell begins to form inside , about November depending where you live. You can use a pin to prick thru the skin to check.
Pick 100 Green Walnuts - Prick the walnuts all over with a pin, put the walnuts in the brine, change brine every 3 days for 9 days, stirring often. Drain the walnuts and put them out in the sun for several days until they turn very black all over.
175g Plain Salt 2.5 L Water 50g Black peppercorns 75g fresh ginger, bruised (Can use dry only if not available) 75g Whole cloves 50g Mustard Seeds 2.5 L Malt Vinegar
Boil together all ingredients for 10 minutes. , while you are waiting pack the walnuts loosely into clean jars. I find that small jars and quantities are best. If you like spicy, pour the hot mix over them & seal, if not strain first.
Beautiful with blue Vein or Tasty Cheese, excellent with Cold Meat & Superb over a Hot Scotch Fillet.
