A quick visit to my local park and the nuts are now quietly getting acquainted with the vodka, sugar and aromatics :). Thank you for this! So looking forward to tasting the end result in a few months
Thank you for sharing the recipe. I have tucked it away for another day and hope that, eventually, our 'little' tree will bear more than its current three that seem to be invisible to the squirrels. That's its total ouput this year.
Each season I hope for more but we'll be patient, as my late father-in-law grew it for us from a nut!
I know that I have another recipe for Nocino that a friend gave to me quite some time ago. We had a glass or three of her potent brew one Christmas and it blew my socks off! It also reminded me of a random bottle that I purchased on holiday in Germany, many moons ago. It was called, Teufelskräuter. Very devilish it was, too. Deep, dark and mystically fragrant.
Grown from a nut is very pleasing! They often have a couple of years of a couple of nuts and then a load the following year, so fingers crossed. Teufelskräuter is an excellent name - sounds like a very ordinary prog rock band
They are quite common trees in parks etc...are you in London soon? Should be easy there but you'll have to be quick before the shell on the nuts starts to form

Excellent! I hope it infuses well for you - let me know how you get on
That's one handsome paperweight, Mark!

Ooh there is a walnut tree in our park…love the idea of Mediterranean sloe gin phwoar.
Go go go
This sounds delicious... wondering where to obtain the walnuts from....

Cold as a well diggers ass. I’ll have to remember that one. And I will have to plant a walnut tree!
I wish I could claim it as my own - alas Tom Waits deserves the credit, but don't let that stop you planting a walnut
That looks tremendous. Was half-expecting the Benny Hill music when I turned the volume on.
I missed a trick there didn't I
divine!!!!
thank you Grace!
