Here are some of the black walnuts that Lia and I collected at Turner Farm this past Fall. I had to special order this nut cracker b/c the first one I got - completely split in half when I tried to crack ONE walnut. Are black walnuts harder than other walnuts? I don't know. But I do know that it is VERY time consuming to crack these nuts. AND I learned that I need to be EXTRA CAREFUL to remove all of the tiny bits of the shell. The flavor however is unique and delcious. I look forward to seeking out some special recipes that will work with this particular nut!
