    When I was a kid hickory nuts were everywhere here in Tennessee. I loved those little buggers but I could never crack one of the darn things without cracking my finger with the hammer. LOL I was such a bumpkin that I called them hickker nuts, LOL This is the first recipe I ever ever seen actually printed any where calling for hickory nuts. :o0
