I had a pecan tree in the backyard that I used to roast the nuts with butter and cinnamon. Damn hurricane took it out

Oooooo now we’re cookin’ with gas…they are the best that way, or with a little honey drizzled over and tossed, then roasted. I keep toasted pecans in the freezer for addition to ambrosia, parfaits, etc.
Pecan trees are notorious for shedding limbs in storms. It’s a shame because old groves get decimated so easily. We pick 5 gallon buckets full at my BFF’s horse farm. The horses nose into our harvest while we work, so it’s a harvest hard-won. Even harder work splitting, shelling, roasting, cooling, putting away in the deep freeze.
