Mac nuts

We have a few macadamia nut trees on our property that have been dropping the nuts like crazy lately! The picture of the mac nuts below is of the nuts that I collected today. On average we find two dozen every day! We've been reading about how you dry them and then roast them. The mac nut has the hardest shell of all nuts, so we are still working on the best way to crack them without completely crushing the meat inside.
Lucy and Kahiki like to help find the nuts, too.
