Does anyone have a recipe involving walnuts and alcohol? Unfortunately I've
missed the southern hemesphere season for nocino (should have done that 2
months ago) so I'm searching for something that'll use ripe nuts.

What about a fruitcake or a walnut-paste-filled stollen soaked in rum?

Skip the fruitcake but the rest has significant appeal... :-)

Seriously yhough, I was hoping that it was possible to make some sort of
tasty alcoholic beverage out of them. I could always just throw some in some
distilled spirit and see but I'd prefer to eliminate the risk of possibly
wasting nuts, hooch and time on something that may have no chance of
working.

Take a liter of you 92% shine, add 12 crushed walnuts,
and the zest of a lemon. Let it sit for six weeks,
strain it, and put it in a freezer for a few days.
Tell us how it tastes.

Dick, you just get so much enjoyment out of enticing me to cauterize my
tastebuds!! I predict that it will have a very strong alcohol taste
accompanied with a really warm sensation which eventually stops.

I'm off to the walnut and lemon tree friend over the long weekend so I will
pillage and plunder.
