Lucky! I have gone to get pine nuts in many years as they don't grow here. Did you put them in the oven to roast? We used to pick up the entire cone and bring home large garbage bags full, place them on cookie sheets and roast them.

We were able to pick most of them right off the ground. We looked for spots where lots of dried pinecones were on the ground under the trees and many were found here. It was actually more work getting them out of the fresher pinecones.
So far we have only tried them raw but Paul suggested putting them in water with some salt and seasonings, simmering until all the water is gone.
