Growing up in the South, pecans were always abundant. I’d grab a handful for a snack every day and always incorporate them into our meals. We didn’t limit ourselves to making pecan pie either. If you love them as I do, here are a few pecan recipes that are sweet and savory.<\/p>\n

“This is too good not to eat every day,” thinks Francine Bryson<\/a> (Pickens, SC<\/a>) of her Toasted Southern Pe-Can Brown Sugar Butter<\/a>. All I can say about this wonderful recipe is wow!<\/p>\n

It’s a sweet and nutty compound butter. The pecans are toasted which brings out their flavor. Finely chopped, they’re mixed with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and maple extract. What a treat! This can be spread on toast or could be used on top of pancakes or waffles. It’s so good, you’ll be finding reasons to pull it out of the fridge.<\/p>\n

Joyce Newman’s<\/a> (Pollock Pines, CA<\/a>) Caramelized Pecan & Cranberry Encrusted Brie<\/a> is a beautiful way to enjoy Brie. It sounds fancy but it’s easy to make.<\/p>\n

“This is my husband’s all-time favorite request when I have to make an appetizer to take to a party or get together,” reveals Joyce. “It’s so festive and artsy looking too!”<\/p>\n

When you cut into it, the melted cheese just oozes out. What makes this a little different is the caramel-like glaze. It’s sweet and thick, crunchy from the pecans and a bit tart from the cranberries. Paired with the savory creamy Brie, it’s so delicious. We loved this with apple slices and buttery crackers.<\/p>\n

Stuffing a chicken breast is easy to do and elevates basic chicken. Gretchen<\/a> (Columbia, TN<\/a>) shared her recipe for Cherry Pecan Stuffed Chicken Breast<\/a> which is fantastic.<\/p>\n

“My inspiration for this was a recipe for chicken breasts stuffed with sliced almonds and dried apricots,” explains Gretchen. “I made it my way using the ingredients I already had – pecans and dried cherries.”<\/p>\n

This version is stuffed with a creamy herb goat cheese and sweet, tart dried cherries. It’s encrusted with a pecan crust. The chicken turns out perfectly moist and tastes amazing with the creamy cherry pecan filling. This is easy enough to prepare for a family dinner.<\/p>\n

Of course, pecans are the star ingredient in pecan pie. Sherry Wilkins’<\/a> (Cabot, AR<\/a>) shared her Chocked Full of Pecan Pie<\/a> that’s filled with them.<\/p>\n

“We love pecan pie but my husband complained that in most of the recipes I tried there was too much “goo” and not enough pecans,” shares Sherry. “So, I adapted this from other recipes I had tried.”<\/p>\n

Full of crunchy pecans, with just enough filling to hold it together, this recipe has all the wonderful flavors you’d expect from a pecan pie. Plus, it’s really easy to make.<\/p>\n

When I tried Stacey Exley’s<\/a> (Keystone Heights, FL<\/a>) Mamaw Soles Pecan Puffs<\/a> I could not stop snacking on them.<\/p>\n

“This recipe has been passed down three generations now that I know of,” explains Stacey. “I just recently been able to get this one and I’ve been wanting it for over 20 years.”<\/p>\n

Brown sugar adds almost a buttery flavor to these cookies. They are light and airy… almost meringue-like since beaten egg whites are the main ingredient. These are addicting. Keep them on the kitchen counter and they’ll disappear in an instant.<\/p>\n

Breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert, I could eat pecans at every meal. If your love of pecans goes deep like mine, I suggest you try one of these Blue Ribbon recipes I’ve shared. I think your taste buds will go nuts for them. Happy Pinching!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
