Pickled walnuts

Pickled walnuts are a traditional English pickle, made from walnuts.[1] They are considered a suitable accompaniment for a dish of cold turkey or ham, as well as blue cheese.[2] There is a reference to "a mutton chop and a pickled walnut" in The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens and a mention in Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited.[3][4]
The process for preparing pickled walnuts takes a little more than a week. The green walnuts are brined before they will be pickled. The brine time helps with preservation and removes some of the bitterness in the unripe walnuts. [2]
