Guest guest Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 We had a black walnut tree in our yard, when I was growing up. To get off the green hull, we would put a big pile of them on the drive way and drive back on and forth over them with our car. Then leave them a few days to dry out the green part. Put them in a bucket, set up a chair beside a cut log, that is cut side up and down, about 3 ft tall, and get a hammer. We would then pull off any remaining green hull and hammer then, to crack them open, on the cut log. We set up an empty dishpan or bucket on the other side of us and dropped them into it, to shell out after we were finished cracking that batch of nuts. Freeze them, so they won't go rancid on you. They are way to good to let that happen to them. Chopped up Black walnuts are so good in loaves, patties, cookies, etc.... I prefer them to English Walnuts.
