    I attended a spring homesteading workshop/campout and someone had made this for everyone to try. It was amazing! I told him it tasted like Christmas! Thank you for the recipe!

    I love Nocino! (They pronouce is No-chi-no)I had the pleasure of making it when I lived in Tuscany. The tradition is that woman harvest the walnuts around the 24th of June..it's so delicious. Like a liquid Christmas pudding!

    You’d probably hate it, but you’d be good on TV!! I usually pickle walnuts, but can’t wait to try this. I’ve a few green ones left. Love the nålbinding. I learned earlier this year. Love it! Thanks

    All the recipes I've seen start with a nice big bowl of green walnuts sitting on the table; my question is, how do you harvest these things? My neighbor's yard has a huge black walnut tree but the closest branches are 10' off the ground, I can't see how I'd get to them with anything short of a roofing ladder.

    Do you do you leave the nuts in there for the whole year? Or strain it at some point

    • @SallyPointer
      @SallyPointer  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Strain it out after a few months. I often use the strained nuts in a dyebath, there's another video on that on my list somewhere

      @@SallyPointer Cool! I'm making some hickory nut nocino-esque drink right now since i have those locally. I included the husks which were green at harvest but are very tannic so I'm straining now after a month and will let it age for a year! thanks

      I don't think so, you need flavours from all layers of the unripe nut, shell and casing

      Generally dark is better for liqueurs, but this one is less fussy than do.e as it won't go a funny colour with too much light

    Everyone goes 'foraging' nowadays. I used to just go 'gathering'. In the Irish Defence Forces, they once issued us with a 'forage cap'. Our CO on seeing the first man go pass wearing it, called the Sgt Maj and asked. "What was that?" (Bn Comndrs were not really tuned in then) "The new uniform, Sir", replied Neilan. "That cap looks stupid, I don't want to see anyone wearing it". "SIR". So 500 men were issued with 2 forage caps each and none of them were ever worn, save the clouster that went past Hut 1 that day as the CO was going home. No other Unit wore the cap, save the Galway men, but sure half of them are from Connemara

      How fascinating! I think I've called it foraging since I was a little girl, but yes, gathering is just as good. I believe Forage Caps have been an issue item since the Napoleonic wars at least, I certainly knit enough of them for the reenactment regiments! 😁

      We’re the caps at least used for carrying stuff, as the name implies they might be? (Although in that case it would have been better to issue a bag that would fit easily into a pocket.)

    Aren't Green walnuts toxic?

    • @SallyPointer
      @SallyPointer  5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Nope, but you have to watch out for mould on decomposing unripe walnut shells, that can have unpleasant effects if you eat it. In this case the unripe walnuts are gathered specially and inspected for damage before use, so nothing to worry about. 🙂

      The leaves, husks, nut, wood chips and other parts of the Black Walnut that is native to California are considered very toxic to dogs and horses. But whether the fresh green husk and nut without mold is toxic I could not find out. More reading. It does make a lovely dye but doesn't stain hands the way the English Walnut does. I would love to try this!
