About:
Pickled Walnuts are a real treat. With a spicy and nutty taste, they are best served with cheese or cooked meat. They are expensive to buy and so taste even better if you have made them yourself!
Ingredients:
750g green walnuts
64g kosher salt
2 litres of water
2 litres of pickling vinegar
15g cracked black pepper
15g cracked allspice berries
28g ginger, about 4cm pieces (smashed)
128g brown sugar
Method:
-
Dissolve the salt in the water to make a brine
-
Put on rubber gloves, because walnut juice will stain your hands for weeks, and it won’t come off!
-
Properly gloved, push a needle or fork through each nut to check the shell hasn’t formed
-
Put the pricked nuts into the brine solution for 30 days
-
After 30 days, rinse and put into jars and cover with pickling vinegar, spices and remaining ingredients
-
Put on the lid and leave somewhere cool until Christmas (Pickled Walnuts should be kept in a cool pace at least 1 month before you eat them)
