    My pecan trees went ape this year and I'm inviting the neighbors into the yard to get all they want! I picked up 3 five-gallon buckets, and a couple of neighbors have come by and picked up at least that many this year. It's incredible.

    I love pecans. My dog Lucy loves them, too, picks the up right off the ground and crunches them open with her teeth. Then picks through the remains to get the nut. It's hilarious!

    Here's another recipe I found recently. It was a hit at a party...

    Sugar Glazed Spicy Pecans

    Makes 2 cups

    2 tsp fennel seeds
    1/2 cup granulated sugar
    1 tsp crushed dried chilies
    1 tsp salt
    2 cups pecan halves
    3 tbsp water

    Preheat oven to 325 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking oil. Grind fennel seeds with a mortar and pestle or mini food chopper. In a bowl, mix ground seeds, sugar, chilies, salt and pecan halves. Stir in water. Spread mixture on baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20 minutes, stirring often. Remove and cool on baking sheet. Nuts will become crispier as they cool. Can be prepared up to a week ahead. Serve in a candy dish.

    Almonds instead?

    Ca you substitute almonds? Pecans make my throat a little itchy...mild allergy.

    Karen if only I were your neighbor! My Mammaw had a wonderful pecan tree when I was growing up, we used to pick them up in the yard and the boys would crack them together to get them open for me. Sadly it was struck by lightning. I wish they weren't such a slow growing tree- homemade pralines anyone?

    Here's another recipe for savory pecans that's a hit at my office.

    2 tbsp pickapeppa sauce
    1 tbsp olive oil
    1 tbsp chopped rosemary
    1/4 tsp salt
    2 c pecans

    Mix together first four ingredients, then mix with pecans.

    Spread in a single layer on a large pan and bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.

    If you have a dark-coated pan, use less time because they go from done to burned quickly.
