I just find them too sweet for me. Still I probably find myseft eating at least a dozen or so a year. They always tend to show up around my house near Christmas.Bartender Cabbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623813045706584212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661288566810922442.post-31585187195289433922011-02-20T10:22:22.563-06:002011-02-20T10:22:22.563-06:00Sorry, bubba, my grandmother, who had five pecan (...Sorry, bubba, my grandmother, who had five pecan (yes, not pee-can as in can of tomatoes) trees in her yard, made the best pralines (pray-leens) in the history of mankind. In part it was due to the pecans which came from her own trees, near Milliken's Bend, LA. The origin of the word is French. Think about it.<br /><br />Unfortunately, lightening killed one of the trees, which turned out to be the only male tree, and the other four stopped producing. Prior to that I didn't know that pecan trees were male or female, but it turns out they are. Both produce pecans and you cannot tell the difference by looking at them.Jayhawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00756807802218022043noreply@blogger.com
