Have you ever processed walnuts before?

I remember the walnut tree and how the walnuts would fall and we kids would all go out and pick them up, bring them in and help my grandmother cull them. You take this horrid outer portion off and then I don't remember what all grandmother did with them after that. She used them in cooking. Nice black walnuts and cookies and cakes and this marvelous jam she made. Did you do this as a child? If not, what wonderful thing like this do you remember from your childhood?
