Gather walnuts when they are as you can run a pin through them, pare
them and put them in water, and let them lie four or five days,
stirring it twice a day to take out the bitter, then put them in strong
salt and water, let them lie a week or ten days, stirring it once or
twice a day, then put them in fresh salt and water, and hang them over
a fire, put to them a little allum, and cover them up close with vine
leaves, let them hang over a slow fire whilst they be green, but be
sure don't let them boil, when they are green pat them into a sieve to
drain the water from them.
