Our daughter and son- in - law farm walnuts; any reason why we can't use english walnuts - they are just regular walnuts.
I can use the black walnut flavoring and just regular walnuts ?
please pm me.
again thank you ~
my grandma grew up on a farm and they had 2 english walnut trees. When she married and they got their own house, they planted an english walnut tree. Eventually the tree died and it had to be cut down. We (my parents) had some property with black walnut trees and took some to her, hulled and cracked. She said she didn't know how to bake with them and my dad said just like you do with english walnuts.
Long story short, black walnuts just have more flavor to them than english walnuts. You can still use them, walnuts are walnuts, one's just walnuty-er than the other
And thanks for the recipe!!
