By | |

Walnuts to keep Put a layer of sea sand at the bottom of a large jar then a layer of walnuts then sand then the nuts and so on till the jar is full they must not touch each other in any of the layers When wanted for use lay them in warm water for an hour shift the water as it cools rub them dry and they will peel well and eat sweet Lemons to keep Do these the same as the preceding Another way Take fruit that are quite sound and good and run a fine pack thread about a quarter of a yard long through the hard nib at the end of the lemon then tie the string together and hang it on a hook in an airy dry place be sure they do not touch one another nor any thing else but hang them as high as you can
