Nocino 2010

It's that time of year again when green walnuts are in season. I am making nocino again this year. Here is this year's recipe:


1 liter Sobieski Vodka
20 green walnuts cut in half
1 orange peel, most of the pith removed
3 cinnamon sticks


Freshly picked, beautiful green walnuts washed and ready to go:

 Everything just mixed:

Here is the mixture on day 2. It's starting to turn green. By day 4 it looks completely black and there's little point in taking a picture. It smells divine, though.
