Good morning! And Happy Friday!
Gosh, I can't believe September's over already. This month flew by. And it was chilly last night!
I received my pecan order yesterday. Five pounds of delicious pecan pieces. I scooped them up, 2 cups to a bag, put them through the food saver, and tossed them in the freezer. Pecan sandies, butter pecan cake, maple-pecan ice cream, topping for praline pumpkin pie, sticky buns topped with pecans (Rick's already talking about sticky buns! ), tossed in with apples for an apple pie, maple-pecan syrup for French toast. Mmmmmm I also love spiced pecans and am going to have to buy some nice pecan halves, just for toasting and spicing.
Do you like pecans? What do you use pecans in? If you don't like pecans, what other nut do you enjoy eating?
You know, other than peanuts or almonds, I never ate nuts as a kid. Mom would get huge bags of assorted nuts for the holidays and put them out on the table. She cooked and baked a lot with black walnuts: ice cream, taffy, fudge, brittles, cakes, cookies, etc. I never bothered with them. I don't know how I developed such a fondness for pecans over the years, but I do enjoy them now. Rick and I like cashews, too, and we always grab a bag of cashew pieces when we go to our local natural food store. And I still love my peanuts and almonds.
How do you like your pecans or other nuts?
