The Pecans are fried At Home
At my home during the holidays, expect to find small bowls of roasted pecans and chocolate candies set up for family and friends to enjoy while "visiting." Although my family loves fried pecans long enough to crave them all year round, we don’t get pecans until they are harvested again in Fall and early winter. Tip: Commercial pecan growers offer experimental sales in the summer to remove old, dry pecans they have stored from the previous harvest.
Did you know that pecan is the only food item in North America? Colonials learned about it from the Algonquin natives, who called the nuts "pacane," which means "break the shell, and eat the nut." I wonder how the pacane was pronounced, because there is a difference in how people pronounce the word pecan. I'm very happy with people who think there's a "U" or a "W" in the spelling. I give "a name for them": "made great."
The Algonquin natives collected packets from pecan trees, which were stairwells. Peanuts liked to be small and different in taste. Types of web search pecans and you should find several named after the North American indigenous peoples, most of whom have links to the Algonquin tribe.

I like a simple recipe: Put half of the pecan shelled in a bowl. Pour melted butter over them. Sprinkle sea salt on it. Use a spoon to get salt and butter to stick to the pecans. Place half of the chopped pecan and salt on a sheet of tiled cookie. Pre-heat your oven to Bake at 325 degrees. The baking setting will bake your pecans. Take them out of the oven after ten minutes. "The aroma will tempt you to drill, but be careful: Heat them directly in the oven. Do not call them" puhcawns. "
The Christian Bible speaks of pistachios and almonds, but not pecans. In the Old Testament, the Bible speaks of roasting as a way of cooking that pleases God. Web Search Leviticus 2:14. In that verse, Moses gives the command to the newly released Hebrews that it would please God if they would give him roasted grain (the best) before they could feed themselves. God appeared to Moses and the Hebrew people for a long time (during the 40 years they fled from Egypt). God used Moses as the writer to record and explain his relationship with mankind and to raise up the present generation of Abraham's sons and daughters who they are and what they are expected to do. Moses wrote the first five books of the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.
When you take out your pecans and bake them in the oven, close your eyes; I smell the intoxicating smell of fried pecans. Know that God made us in his image. Is it easy to believe that he too would like that scent?
