Hickory Nut Cream

Cliff suggests that this Native American recipe using hickory nuts could be varied by using almonds or English walnuts.

• 1 cup crushed crushed hickory nut meats
• 1-1/2 cups boiling water

METHOD

Combine nuts and water and steep for 5 minutes. Strain mixture through a cloth. Form cloth into a bundle, and holding strained nutmeats inside bundle, twist, tighten and squeeze to draw out every last drop of liquid into a container.

Or, using a blender, after mixture has steeped for 5 minutes, place in a blender and liquefy.

Use on desserts or in beverages.

Yield: 1-1/2 cups.
