We have a pecan tree and the past few weekends we've been picking them up and saying oh that has to be the last of them! (Hubby has picked up tons during the week too) This weekend surely has to be the last of them!!! Saturday we picked up for about an hour and a half and filled 1/2 a 5 gallon bucket. After the storms blew through yesterday we pickup up for a little over 2 hours and filled an entire 5 gallon bucket and a whole large flower pot! My legs and butt are telling my I did a ton of bending and squatting this weekend. The nuts are delicious, we've given a lot away to family and friends for their holiday baking, but I'm thinking with still having so many, I might need to come up with a couple dishes to make myself! Does anyone have any ideas to make shelling them easier? We shelled some for grandmas who have a hard time doing it and I boiled them first which made them a bit easier, but it took about an hour to get one cup of "meat" out of the shell!
