    I have recently become interested in butternuts (Juglans cinerea), =
which are native to the St. John River of New Brunswick but with at =
least one small reproducing semi-natural population in Halifax. But how =
exactly do you harvest the nuts?  The =E2=80=9Cmeat=E2=80=9D of the =
fresh nuts is delicious, but difficult to extract unbroken from crushed =
nuts. According to the internet you are supposed to dry them until you =
hear the =E2=80=9Cmeat=E2=80=9D within the nut rattling when you shake =
it.=20
   I guess the same goes for other nuts, such as wallnuts or =
=E2=80=9Cheartnuts.=E2=80=9D Any idea of how long, and at what =
temperature, you are supposed to heat them?
