Left a grand on the table

Too get the moisture down a point or so, before I bag them up. Wife said she wants some to candy in the next couple weeks. She runs 4 pounds at a time through a roaster with vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar. Strictly low calorie don’t ya know. Some times she adds some rum to the mixture for medicinal purposes.

wow

Mmmm

Sure sounds sweet

look great

Pulpwood?

Pecans I believe.

They look delicious

Mommy mom good

Pecan pies are the greatest. We used to shake a few trees here with a rope and an Allis Chalmers 185 when I was kid. About .75 cents a pound unshelled and Ole boy better not see no wormholes lol. Hurricane Fran got some, there's only 4 pecan trees left here now. I don't pick them up anymore as my son is allergic to them, peanuts and walnuts

Interesting drying rack, do you force air through them or is it just natural? I do like homemade pralines.

White trash 88 , how many acres of pecan trees do you have?

If those are Hark, can you save me a pound? Hoping to graft some trees next Spring and want to know what I'm getting.

HayDay , don’t have any Hark produseing yet. Have grafted around 100 small trees over to Hark. These shelled pecans are Pawnee.
Run, I have 25 acres of planted, irrigated trees. Around 300 trees all together.
Iowa Bob , I just turn big floor fans on them to dry them down. The drying rack is home made using angle iron for frame and hole punch stainless steel for the 4 slide in racks. Can easily put 150 pounds of shelled pecans in each rack. Several dollars worth at 6 $ a pound.

Thank you, White trash 88.

Nice operation you have there Trash

Very nice ! Now I know where to get some good pecans !

Thanks Savell. Pretty small operation compared to some in Texas, Georgia, New Mexico. Most of my finished product equipment is hillbilly engineering but works for my operation.
Nessy, I grow the best pecans in 7 counties. all joking aside, look at the color of mine compared to the real dark ones you get at Wally World. That generally is an indication there 2-3 years old and probably from Mexico. Them dark ones taste like cardboard to me. Guess it’s like youens maple syrup, the lighter syrup has better flavor?

You do bees too Trash?

Nice looking nuts....I could eat about a pound of them cinnamon covered ones!

They do look great. I find the whole process very interesting. Thanks for taking us along.
