Ancient Romans partaking in the festivities of Saturnalia\u2014a raucous mid-December holiday that honored seed-sowing god Saturn\u2014 wagered nuts, not gold coins, as they rolled dice fashioned from sheep and goat knucklebones. A good haul of fall nuts, after all, was a good omen for the spring harvest to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later in western civilization\u2019s story line, when the solstice holidays were folded into Christmastime festivities, having nuts in the mix both held religious symbolism and facilitated secular rituals. The three parts of a nut\u2014shell, skin, and kernel\u2014 came to symbolize either the Holy Trinity or the bones, skin, and soul of Christ. Throughout Europe, St. Nicholas and his helpers have for centuries scattered nuts for children to find in their shoes, stockings, and hidden about the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, big bowls of whole nuts and intricately carved nutcrackers sit out in the open on modern American tables, inviting us to crack them open while conversing with family and friends during the holiday season. Less common, though, is using nuts as the base of another American holiday tradition: pie. Yes, of course, there is the revered pecan pie as well as its more demure counterpart, the Pecan Tassie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip for Storing Nuts
<\/strong>Shelled and unshelled nuts can be held at room temperature for about four weeks. They\u2019ll keep in the refrigerator for one year, and in the freezer for two. Nuts can be thawed and refrozen repeatedly without a losing their flavor or texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what about putting nuts in the pie dough itself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two ways to make this nutty idea work. Working with the idea of a crumb-based crust, combine 1 1\u20442 cups of ground nuts (walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, and Brazil nuts all work well) with 3 tablespoons softened butter and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Pat the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish and bake in a 325\u00b0F oven until the top edges of the crust start to brown, about 10 minutes. Cool the crust before adding chocolate pudding or banana cream pie fillings. This is also a good option for a cheesecake crust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second way to work nuts into your pie dough is by adding 3 tablespoons of very finely chopped nuts to your favorite single pie dough recipe (1\u20443 of a cup of nuts if you\u2019re making a double crust). Roll it out to carry sweet apple caramel and sweet potato pies or savory vegetable quiches and cheesy tarts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a gamble by putting nuts in your pie crusts and eaters will scramble to find out how delicious they can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n Washed-Rind Cheese Tart with a Mixed Nut Crust<\/span>\n
<\/div>\n
Italian Tallegio is an obvious choice for the washed-rind semi-soft cheese in this recipe. But other options that match the nutty crust are Limburger, Morbier, Port Salut, and Reblochon.<\/div>\n
