You can always have a supply of these delicious pickled black nuts on hand, which find wide application in both cold and hot cuisine. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can learn how we make the nuts most quickly in our video that we recorded for you:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Svatojánské Nuts Are Made:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe base is the walnut\u003c\/strong\u003e. But \u003cstrong\u003eit is not\u003c\/strong\u003e the walnut \u003cstrong\u003eyou know from making Christmas cookies\u003c\/strong\u003e, but \u003cstrong\u003ethe whole green, unripe nut\u003c\/strong\u003e, which you can often see on walnut trees in spring and summer. As the name suggests, these nuts are harvested \u003cstrong\u003eat the end of June\u003c\/strong\u003e around the feast of \u003cstrong\u003eJohn the Baptist\u003c\/strong\u003e (June 24), but due to the whims of the weather lately, it is not uncommon for us to go for the nuts as early as the end of May.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we collect the nuts, \u003cstrong\u003eeach\u003c\/strong\u003e of them \u003cstrong\u003emust be pierced at least 2 times\u003c\/strong\u003e with a metal needle, depending on the size of the nut. The pierced nuts go into a vat of water, which we must \u003cstrong\u003echange daily for clean\u003c\/strong\u003e for a period of \u003cstrong\u003e2 - 3 weeks\u003c\/strong\u003e. This way, we get rid of the unpleasant bitterness from the nuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen comes the stage of \u003cstrong\u003esweetening the nuts\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is a slow process where we gradually \u003cstrong\u003ereplace the water\u003c\/strong\u003e in the nuts with sugar \u003cstrong\u003esyrup\u003c\/strong\u003e. We gradually thicken it until after \u003cstrong\u003eseveral weeks\u003c\/strong\u003e we reach the desired density and the nuts no longer absorb more sugar. Finally, we fill the jars, pour in the spiced syrup, and preserve (pasteurize) them. We also add a \u003cstrong\u003edrop of glucose syrup\u003c\/strong\u003e to the final syrup. This is not because we want to save on sugar, but \u003cstrong\u003eglucose prevents the syrup from crystallizing\u003c\/strong\u003e so you won't have to dig the nuts out of a solid sugar mass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs you can see, there is \u003cstrong\u003ea lot of work\u003c\/strong\u003e with the nuts, but the result is worth it. This is evidenced not only by successes in domestic and international competitions but also by their \u003cstrong\u003epopularity among customers and chefs\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Bit of History:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSvatojánské nuts are a forgotten and rediscovered \u003cstrong\u003eold delicacy\u003c\/strong\u003e, for which recipes \u003cstrong\u003eappeared in cookbooks as early as the 19th century\u003c\/strong\u003e. We have a recipe from one such book. We have slightly modified it and adapted it to modern times, but the taste is original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the recipe is already this old, Svatojánské nuts were a common delicacy even in the 50s and 60s of the last century. \u003cstrong\u003eWe still meet\u003c\/strong\u003e people who still \u003cstrong\u003eremember them well from their youth\u003c\/strong\u003e, when their mother or grandmother made them every summer from green nuts. At that time, they were also one of the \u003cstrong\u003ecomponents of fruit compote\u003c\/strong\u003e, which could commonly be found on the shelves of socialist stores. People often \u003cstrong\u003econfuse the nuts with walnut liqueur\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is also made from unripe nuts, but instead of being soaked in water and syrup, they are soaked in alcohol, where the bitterness is welcome. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chut Moravy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58465856815448,"sku":"BA473","price":30.11,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/0577\/4168\/files\/3093_svatojanske-orechy-trojbaleni-barevna.jpg?v=1791892969","url":"https:\/\/www.singular.shop\/en-sk\/products\/triple-pack-of-saint-johns-nuts-rynk","provider":"Singular","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
