Plethora of Pecans



It’s been a bumper crop year for pecans in the greenbelt and every day you can see neighbors gathering these nourishing treats. Cultivated thin-shelled varieties are commercially grown throughout the Southeast but our pecans are smaller and sturdier with thick shells that give squirrels and humans a sense of accomplishment when you crack one open.
 
Since it is holiday time, which often means lots of good food, I asked our City of Austin Council Members to share their favorite pecan recipes and will list those below as they come in. 
 
Happy pecan gathering and eating during this holiday season!
