How to prepare pine nuts to prepare for alcohol?
If you decide to insist on alcohol on pine nuts, then for this, both cleaned and unpeeled nuts are suitable (the shell also contains many useful substances). The main thing is that raw materials should be quality, without signs of rot, clean. The shell of good nuts should be a saturated brown color, and the nuclei themselves - gently yellow.
If you plan to use untreated nuts, you should prepare them first to remove the resinous substances that make the bitterness from the shell. To do this, you need to pour the nuts into a container of water, rinse it, separate it from the floating husks and bad kernels.
