National Pecan Month is sponsored each year by the National Pecan Sheller's Association, and it is a time to celebrate this American fruit. That's right, fruit, not a nut.
Pecans are a common ingredient in bread, cakes, salads, and cookies, plus they make delicious pies.
Personal Story from Laura:
"My first encounter with pecans occurred when I was about six years old. Mom and Dad had another couple over to play Bridge. Turns out they didn't have enough pecan pie for the adults and kids so they told us kids, all four of us, that you had to be 18 years of age to eat pecan pie. We believed them...and I would be 18 the first time I tasted pecan pie. It is my favorite today, but I can't believe my parents coveted it so! Or that I believed them. We still laugh about that to this day."
So, enjoy your pecans this month, but please don't tell your children they can eat pecan pie only once they are adults. They might believe you!"
