[Sca-cooks] re Nuts; The Walnut

[Daniel Phelps]

While looking up the entry for acorns in Rosengarten I read the following on
walnuts:

"The green immature walnut, including the husk, is edible.  In England,
young walnuts are traditional delicacies when pickled.  While still green,
the are gathered in June or July, then soaked in salt and water for about
ten days before being placed in vinegar.  Green walnuts can also be made
into walnut marmalade, added to jams, or preserved whole in syrup.  A nut
brandy can be prepared from green walnuts."

Does anyone have any information regarding period recipes for pickled
walnut, marmalade or walnut preserves?  Has anyone tasted any of these?  How
about walnut brandy?
