Filberts/cob/hazel nuts

I have a huge pile of filberts/cobnuts/hazelnuts - call them what you will - in my garden, dropped from an overhanging tree in the disused orchard beyong the wall. Other than eating them as they are, are there any recipes I could use them in? It's free food and would hate to see them go to waste.

    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    OMG, my husband would be so jealous. His hedgerow hazel has three nuts this year :)

    Its fine to have the occasional raw nut,- or I hope it is...we' ve always eaten them........ they are delicious and you can't buy them like that: which is one of the best things about growing your own or foraging: to have things as they grow. Otherwise roasting/toasting for a more familiar snacky flavour.

    If they have dropped, they may be empty. Despite the winds, my filberts are still on the tree, which being a MSE hazel, got rid of all its 'duds' about a fortnight ago. ;)
