First of all, I would suggest you shell as much as you can and throw

them in the freezer. This will keep them fresh almost

indefinitely. And...while you're looking for recipes, here's a great one

that my mother used to make...

 

Walnut Crescent Cookies

 

1 c. butter

1/2 c. sugar

1 tsp. vanilla (opt.)

2 c. flour

1 c. ground walnuts

 

Cream butter and sugar. (Add vanilla, if using.) Add flour, then

nuts. Add more flour, if needed. To shape, roll a teaspoon of dough into

a log shape. Bend at the middle and flatten slightly. Bake 15 min. @350F/175C.

 

Another great way to use walnuts is in a Waldorf salad. Chop apples

and celery; add coarsely chopped walnuts (chopping walnuts by hand is

best). Add mayonnaise mixed with a drop of cinnamon, cloves, and

concentrated pineapple juice.
