For #ThanksgivingDay, I'm making this family favorite. I've been making it for about 15? years.
Beloved spouse is currently doing me the favor of shopping for ingredients. 😁💖🏆I always make it at Thanksgiving, and usually for #Christmas, too. It would be great all year long, really, so I dunno how it ended up a late-year-holidays-only thing. But I do like having it as a special treat. ☺️

How pecans went from ignored trees to a holiday staple — an expert explains the 8,000-year history

Pecans have a storied history in the United States. Today, American trees produce hundreds of million of pounds of pecans – 80% of the world’s pecan crop. Most of that crop stays here. Pecans are used to produce pecan milk, butter and oil, but many of the nuts end up in pecan pies.
Throughout history, pecans have been overlooked, poached, cultivated and improved. As they have spread throughout the United States, they have been eaten raw and in recipes. Pecans have grown more popular over the decades, and you will probably encounter them in some form this holiday season.

I’m an extension specialist in Oklahoma, a state consistently ranked fifth in pecan production, behind Georgia, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas. I’ll admit that I am not a fan of the taste of pecans, which leaves more for the squirrels, crows and enthusiastic pecan lovers.
The spread of pecans
The pecan is a nut related to the hickory. Actually, though we call them nuts, pecans are actually a type of fruit called a drupe. Drupes have pits, like the peach and cherry.

They are usually the size of your thumb, and you may need a nutcracker to open them. You can eat them raw or as part of a cooked dish.

Been watching the Great British Baking Show and felt inspired to attempt a holiday baking challenge so here’s my first attempt at a Bûche de Noël aka Yule Log Cake. Don’t know if it’s worthy of a Paul Hollywood handshake but I did receive a hearty handshake from my spouse which is more than good enough for me.
