,texas ,pecan ,recipes ,revised ,there aren't many ,texans who don't have a special liking for pecans grown in the state1 usually enjoying them straight from the shell4 ,but now1 more and more people are incorporating pecans in many different types of recipes4 ,in this booklet we have included recipes for salads1 main dishes1 desserts1 candies1 and cookies4 ,the ,texas pecan industry has grown significantly from the days when the nuts were gathered by the family and hauled to town to sell during the season4 ,today1 modern storage facilities and packaging make them available year-round4 ,and if purchasers store pecans properly1 they will retain their fresh flavor and quality for very long periods4 ,we hope that you find new ways to use pecans in cooking and that you insist on ,texas pecans when you shop4 ,reagan ,v4 ,brown ,commissioner of ,agriculture ,buy ,fresh ,texas ,pecans ,the pecan is the state tree1 and quite properly it is named4 ,it was a source of food for the ,indians as well as the early colonists who found the trees growing on creek and river banks4 ,with new varieties and commercial cultivation1 the pecan orchards of ,texas provide a steady supply of pecans during the harvesting season from ,october through ,december4 ,during these months1 shoppers can find fresh pecans in retail outlets and can also purchase from growers themselves in many areas4 ,pecans are native to #aeb counties in ,texas and are grown commercially in the central part of the state1 down on the western border1 and in the ,trans-,pecos4 ,check with local farm organizations for names of producers of ,texas pecans in your area4 ,storage ,when stored properly1 they retain good taste and high quality4 ,whether you buy a small cellophane package of shelled pecans or a five-pound bag of in-shell pecans1 the best place to store them is in the freezer4 ,pecans can spoil quickly under warm temperatures1 but will keep fresh one year at #cb degrees ,fahrenheit4 ,pecans do not have to be thawed before being added to a recipe4 ,even if they are not part of a cooked dish1 they will thaw adequately before serving4 ,also1 portions unused can be returned to the freezer without any loss of quality4 ,during the holiday season1 keep the pecans refrigerated--even in-shell--until they are ready to be served4 ,table of ,contents ,cheese ,log #a ,salmon ,log #a ,pecan
