Walnut wine

catllar · « **on:** June 25, 2010, 19:03 »

This is a local Catalan recipe - a bit long in the making but very good! To one litre of good red wine (11 or 12 degrees) add 7 or 9 ( must be an uneven number number to keep evil spirits at bay) green walnuts, whole in the casing and bashed with a hammer. Cork the resulting brew and leave on its side for 12 months. Filter the reulting mix and warm gently. Add to taste a handful of camomile fennel and lime leaves and warm the resulting mix to make an infusion. FIlter. Whilst still warm add 1 kilo of sugar and stir until disolved. Then (and this is the best bit) add up to 1 litre of dark rum. Mix well, bottle and leave for a month. Then drink as an aperitif or ( and I like this bit best) as a medicine to help digestive problems! I think I'll pass on the rest and head straight for the rum, what d'ya think?

Interesting, but i would agree drink the wine and rum and put the walnuts in vinegar.

Me and the missus have just started making Nocino, using Walnuts brought back from France by a friend.

Basically, you take 33 green walnuts and cut them in half. make sure you wear gloves and cut them on something you dont staining... ! missus fingers look like she has been smoking 60 players a day

Place walnuts along with 2 sticks of cinniman, 4 cloves and a vest of a lemon in a jar big enough to hold them and a litre of spirit. In our case 95% stuff bought back from Italy

put the jar containing spirit, nuts etc somewhere bright, a window sill etc.
Leave for 40 days until mixture turns blackish. Then strain liquid into a 2.5l container along with a mixture of 1.25l water and 750g sugar.
Leave for at least a year, 2 is better i beleive.

serve Ice cold...

also made a batch, where we used plain vodka only, not spirit and water combined
