Here's what they look like after being removed from their fleshy green casings. After my brother told me that the last time he did this his hands were black for a week, I chose to wear gloves during that process.
What I do with them now I'm not sure....my edition of 'Stocking up' has a photo of a car driving over them in a purpose-made wooden trough. Don't think I want to try that so I'm going to let them dry out for a few days and then try cracking them open with a hammer.

On my way home from a walk yesterday I came across a huge pile of walnuts and made a mental note to look up if they have an edible use or not. This page provides some good information. I'm going back today and collecting a bunch!
Hey Amber,
Thanks for the link. Learned some very useful things including that you shouldn't compost the shells of black walnuts. Did you get a good haul?
