    This reminds me of a book I read. Where this one girl’s grandfather kept trying to make liquor out of pecans. Now matter how much he tried he just could not get the liquor to taste like pecans. He did everything, he aged it in different wooden containers, he used different types of pecans. But everything he did ended in failure, it was just sadness all around. But he didn’t just make pecan liquor, he also investigated plants. Eventually he found a new plant and named it after his granddaughter because he tasted the pecan liquor with him.
    So the moral of the story is
    Dont make pecan liquor
    Make walnut ink

    Also tried to make ink with blackberries. Turned out pretty interesting and it is still good after...4 Months in my cupboard? Amazing how the vinegar keeps it from rotting. It is also funny, because it looks red...you write/draw red and then it slowly turns violet until it gets to a nearly black when it is completly dry....

      Ella Umbrella I found some "children crafting tutorials" about ink on UA-cam and also used some knowledge about general Ink making from the middle ages. There are so many different ways to get results. I basically squished the blackberries through a fine screen, then mixed the clear juice with 1-2 teaspoons of vinegar (I really can't give measurements... I have like... a bit more than a usual small inkjar) and me personally, I mixed in a bit of gum arrabicum with a few drops of water for texture..... I realize I could make a whole video about this...

    I make walnut stain for dipping my baskets in after I make them. Just to add one more recipe to the mix...I just throw the whole thing in the pot, no cutting or prepping. Heat to a nice boil, cover and turn the flame off to let it soak overnight. Next day start simmering it down to the strength you want, removing nuts as the water level goes below them. Let it cool when it the strength you want, then strain through cheese cloth and hose. I add vinegar, because it helps with stain not washing out. You can restrain if mold develops. It lasts as long as you still have it unused. Love what you did, and plan to make some with my dried husk from a couple years ago. That is another thing you can do, dry the husk , and save them for whenever you want to make ink again.

      I read to use Denatured Alcohol.. I used it , then used just regular alcohol, they seemed about the same. I had one jar I didn't put any preservative.. It smelled sooo bad. I wonder if I could pressure can the ink in the same manner I would pressure can berries , etc...

      Pfffft life is too short for wasting time buying ingredients, cooking them, and then spending a fraction of the time it took to do all that to eat the food, and then 6 times as long to clean up the mess you made. Thats a fools game.

    Hey, neat video! From experience, you'll get a better yield of ink if you let your walnuts ferment and turn completly black before boiling the husks. You can just store the walnuts in a dry place for about a week or two and that should be good. I've found that with this sort of ink, you can boil it to a thick paste and then dry it into a solid in the oven on low heat. Then you can grind the ink powder and experiment with different concentrations until you find a ratio that works best for your needs. I've found that 0.35g of ink powder to 15ml water works pretty well in a medium nib fountain pen. I'm thrilled to see you making your own ink! I find these sort of things quite interesting, that is taking something from nature and making it into something new. Have you considered pokeberry ink? If you're in the NC/VA region, you should be able to find something called pokeweed. It grows purple berries that if crushed have a magenta juice.

    So, i did (almost) the same thing when I was about ten. I decided that I wanted some walnuts so I could dry them out, crack them open, and eat them. But when I had found out about the juice that came from the husks, I was like: woah, paint! So i spent most of my time outside, scraping the husks off of the nut with my bare hands and a semi sharp piece of scrap tile, and wringing them out as much as possible. Back then I didn't know of the stains it caused. So, after making almost a pint of "paint", i started doodling in a 2x4 piece of wood. Then grandmomma and momma called me in for dinner, and I came to the door.
    Momma: what on earth is on your hands?!
    Me: walnut juice.
    Grandmomma: you realize that stains your hands, right?
    Me: oh... but it makes paint...
    Momma: come on in, wash your hands.
    My hands and most of my front arms were covered with light brown stains for two months. My teachers were confused.
    Teacher: what is all that on your hands?
    Me: ...walnut juice...
    I explained this to all of my teachers. The mean little jerks I went to school with thought I had a disease, so I had a lot of fun getting my revenge by chasing them around at recess. But it was worth it to draw on that 2x4.

    If stainy wasn't a word before, it is now! Thanks for the little tour of that beaUtiful farm, it explains much of your chilled coolness. My relatives grew almonds in Dayton California since 1863, one of Blue Diamond Consortium's oldest growers. They had both English and Black Walnuts growing around their vast farmland and I remember getting ringworm from a neglected horse's head at a farm across from my Aunt's store (now long gone) in Herlong California. First thing my grandparents told me to do was go out and pick some of their Black Walnuts so they could bleed the husks for 'Green Black Walnut Juice' (yes that's a thing), and rub it on the ringworm. It worked! I know a little about those blasted magots too, they are what ruins the nutmeats in our precious walnuts dangit. I might be an LA city gal but think fondly of my times on that farm with good honest down to earth people and natural beauty. It was how I decompressed.

    That's so funny you uploaded a video of this today because the other day i was looking at videos on how to process black walnuts to eat! There is a black walnut tree somewhere around near my house. One time a squirrel hoarded one in a small opening under the steps to my house. Pokeweed is very stain-y also, it gives a purplish pink dye.

  • @MeowMeowKapow

    I've never made ink before, but I have made my own watercolor paints using premade pigments. It occurred to me one day that pigments are just ground up dried stuff and started collecting leaves and things to grind up and make into paint.....some day, I'll make a video of it. You've made me wonder if I could apply the same concept to ink, though. Wonder what I could boil in order to draw with....hmmmmmmmm.

    I live in West Virginia. My grandpa would put tons of walnuts in buckets, simply so he could mow the lawn. They’d sit in there for weeks, and eventually turn MIDNIGHT black. The water was just so stain-y! I’d play in it and stain patterns on my skin, I’d get sticks and make patterns on the concrete. I even dipped a cat’s paw in it once 😳 Walnuts were magical to me in my childhood lol! They were, however, the bane of my mother’s existence 😂😂 She would get so mad at me!

    Fun Fact! the science behind the similarities between the partially rotted fruit and the cooked fruit is actually pretty simple. There are several different factors that can influence the rate of chemical reactions, whether it makes them slower or faster. One of these is heat. If it is colder, it will react more slowly, if it is hotter, it will react faster. Since rotting fruit is really just a series of chemical reactions, by boiling the fruit you are pretty much just making is rot extra fast, which is why they have the same colour.
