Over the past few days I've been getting some black walnuts from a tree I found in town. We picked up a whole bunch of them and it's been hard for me to find some time to get them out of their green husks. This afternoon I put them in a bucket with some gravel and water and swished them around until most of the husks were removed. A lot of the work involved my fingernails; my gloves broke and now I have brown stains on my fingertips. That's OK, it'll wear off eventually. The nuts are in the garage drying out and then when I'm ready I'll crack them in a vise and hopefully will have enough to do something with.
The other project today was another bunch of peaches in syrup. I had a little more time and energy so I managed to make 5 quarts. I only have 7 peaches left from that big half-bushel and I'm contemplating a peach salsa. Or maybe a pie. Hard to say which one I'd rather have!
