How I love Brazil nuts! When I was a child, shelled Brazil nuts were not available. I would sit with my mother's iron upside down on my lap and use it as a base to smash the Brazil nuts with a hammer. It took a lot of smashing ! Isn't progress a wonderful thing? :-) I'm going to try this with medjool dates instead of prunes since I have a lot of those in my freezer. Chris
