personally
which is a bit OT for this thread :
If its good w Walnuts
its going to be better w Pecans.
a bigger issue is :
Are your Wal's and Pec's
fresh
they oxidize quickly
and many have not tasted
fresh , from the current season.
how do I know ?
my sister used to live in Central TX
an hour N of Austin. all the small towns used
pecan trees as shade in the centra areas
people would come by in the Pecan season and pick them off
the ground.
she had a friend that cultivated Pecans
there are several varieties
she used to send me in the fall
a lot from this grower.
Night became Day.
still in the shell
TJ's
for me , has much fresher nuts than any
other place locally
and Pecan prices went up years ago
I know this from the grower via my sister
as the Market in China
'' developed a taste "
good for the grower !
