Behold the southern pecan. Please don't pronounce it..... pee'- can!! This is our nut of choice down here. It makes pecan pies, toasted pecans, pralines, brownies ........well just about anything ......fabulous. I photographed this colander full at the Pepper Place Market last weekend. They're tough to pick but if you can find someone to do it for you, life is good! :)
