I have a friend who lives in the Reno NV area, and from time to time, he
sends me 5-10 lbs of pinyon pine nuts, and I send him hickory nuts or pecans
in return.
Fairly tasty little morsels, though they're not a favorite with anyone in my
family. I've eaten them raw, roasted them, boiled in brine(like peanuts) and
then dried in the oven - like salted in-the-shell peanuts. I think the
latter
is my preferred method of preparation.
Some have enough enough of a 'resin' flavor, that some of my friends refuse
to
eat them anymore.
