how do I dry walnuts?

Question

A friend of mine is having problems storing his walnuts and needs to know an effective way of drying and storing them.

Answer 1

The nuts should be hulled immediately after they have beenharvested. If the hulls are allowed to remain on for any length oftime, the juice in the hull will discolor the nut meats and makethem strong tasting. The stain also discolors skin, clothing,concrete, and anything else that it touches. There are variousways and devices to hull walnuts -- a cement mixer, corn sheller,automobile wheel, and squirrel cage are possibilities. Hulls canalso be removed by stomping the nuts under foot or pounding with ahammer. After hulling, thoroughly wash the nuts to remove hulldebris and juices. Small quantities can be washed in a largebucket or tub. At this time, the good nuts can be sorted from thebad ones. Unfilled nuts float while filled nuts sink. (Rubbergloves should be worn when hulling and cleaning to prevent stainingof the hands.)

Answer 3

I found the best way is use a 1 1/2 pipe nipple 6 inches long to remove the shell. I can do twenty in a minute or more.Then I wash them in warm water about three times .I use a bucket and a four foot rod to mix the nuts real good and it's not that hard to do.Now I will lay them out to dry for two weeks in a cool place before there ready to eat....

Answer 5

Take them out of their shell, then spread on a cookie sheet, place in the oven on low (warm) heat, keep the door cracked with a potholder. The warmth allows them to dry, the cracked oven door allows the moisture to escape, test them every now and then until you get the desired dryness. Once dry, store in a closed container, preferably in the fridge.

Answer 7

I dont know why you need to dry them, but obviously if put on
a cookie sheet and put in the oven on a low temp like 200F
or even put in the sun for a short time will do it.
To store them - just bag them in a zip loc bag and throw them
in the freezer. They wont freeze, but kill some bugs and they
will last up to a year.

Answer 8

Freeze them right after purchase, and then defrost and bake on a cookie sheet at 350 for 15 minutes.

Answer 9
