I am so jealous! Do you think you could introduce me to your friends in TX? I sure could use some pecans!

Hi, Liss,
How are things Down Under?

Yes, we are lucky – wonderful friends (who just happen to have pecan trees in their yard) and an unexpected “for-no-reason-at-all” gift box! I think those are the best kind!

Thanks for stopping by.

Oh wow! you lucky thing, to have that many pecans *drool* when we go up north I always pick up a few kilos from the farms… and I try to be sparing with them.. but if I had access to all of those I’d go crazy!!

Love your blog xxx

Soaking worked well for us. When we first got them (and spending five minutes per pecan picking out all those little bits), I was ready to toss the whole box outside for squirrel food!

The breading on pork sounds wonderful – that’ll be the next recipe we’ll try. Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks for the tip to soak the pecans before shelling! I gave up this fall and just sold all the pecans my kids collected rather than picking the 40lbs of them.

I use pecan meal in place of bread crumbs all the time. It works especially well with pan fried pork loins.
