Personal Notes:
Jim's dad would pick up bushels of hickory nuts from the woods. He spread the nuts out on the basement floor to dry. Once the nuts dried, he would crack them and pick out the nut meats while watching television. One winter, he ended up with 68 quarts of nut meats! The pie is sweeter and more flavorful than pecan pie!
