Fiberts For The Freezer

The filberts are just about finished falling from the trees.
It was a very good production year and gathering, drying, cracking, sorting and packaging has been keeping me busy.
While the gathering has been done in spurts throughout the day, the rest of the production has been taking place during those quiet moments when I can crack and sort during the evening after dinner (making messes and the quiet time not so quiet after all).
A friend of mine has been saying that they have tasted hazelnut pie, a version of pecan pie made with local filberts. It is now on my list of recipes that I would like to try out this winter when I spend more time indoors.
