My son-in-law got back from Hawaii very late last night and this morning presented us with a bag of nuts he brought back from the Captain Cook farm! The former owners left
some equipment for processing the macadamia nuts; a nut husker, some drying racks and a shell cracker. John and Shadow harvested ~100lbs of nuts, no easy task since you only harvest them once they fall to the ground, and learned to use the husker and shell cracker. John reports drying racks are currently full of macadamias! Apparently the nuts fall in the husks and after a day or 2 the husk starts to dry out and then you put them in the husker and then let the nuts dry ou
t. This is the stage of processing that the nuts Shadow brought home are at. They are such a beautiful and delicious delicacy...Carolina and I shared one after Shadow cracked it open with a hammer. I am going to look forward to doing some baking with theses nuts! I'm fact, if anyone has a good recipe to share, let me know! Avacado recepies, too!
