Hickory Nuts

Retail price of hickory nuts is interesting.

Neighbor lady told me when she was a youngster that her family would harvest several wagon loads of hickory nuts and sell them at a collection station.

I have about 5 lbs of hulled hickory nuts drying. Will try to crack them out later this fall to see if they are worth the effort.
I have an excuse. CRS.

Hickory must be the orignal "Tough Nut To Crack". They are good, just a lot of work for small reward.
Best,
Mike

A local state park has a lot of Walnut trees in the campground. Not a good place to camp on a rainy, windy fall day. Walnuts falling 30 feet make a lot of noise on a metal camper roof. ALL NIGHT LONG :x

Yeah, I've spent many hours cracking hickory nuts. They are tough and frustrating, but man, is that meat delicious. Worth the effort? Maybe not if doing a lot of them, but those first three or four are certainly worth it.

Eugene a couple weeks back I went up into the mountains of central pa for my yearly venture to the Briggs Family Farm Bluesfest. While there I ran across a fellow selling shagbark hickory syrup. He said he was one of two people he knew of selling this. His web site is www.razzshickorysyrup.com .

Interesting on the hickory syrup.

The Univ of Mo. has a forestry section trying to develop products from Missouri's forests. One of the products that folks are expermenting with is maple syrup.

Take those nuts and hulls,soak in water for a couple of hours and put them over a bed of coals. Makes an excellent smoke. Works well on most meat but poultry is the ticket. I have also used them green on turkeys
