In Reply to: Hickory Nuts posted by Danofarming on November 21, 2013 at 17:18:35:
I have between 45 & 50 old shagbark hickory trees out in the open that I've allowed to remain where they are because that's what my dad would have wanted. Here's the way he did it. Park a chopper wagon under tree. Shake tree limbs with 16 foot long fish spear. Nuts will fall (if squirrels haven't already got them). When nuts fall that far onto hard planks the shucks come off pretty well. Store hickory nuts in burlap bags. In Jan-Feb start bringing them into kitchen. 6" section of railroad track and a small ballpeen hammer with a "jeweler's touch" and they break open. Tools resembling dental tools will pick the meats out. All this being done while talking to my mother about family, friends, politics, news, cows, etc. Finally, the meats are placed in a nut chopper and finely chopped and then used to dust cake frosting, cookies, whatever. This is not to be taken up by impatient, faint of heart people. I doubt that very few, if any, can do it anymore. As for me, I leave them to the squirrels. (;>))
