The holiday season is a special time of year when family and friends get together, enjoy each others company, and of course lots of food! One popular food item in many households is pecans. So I’ve decided to put together a list of delicious pecan Christmas recipes that will be a real treat for you and your loved ones.
In full openness I have to admit that not of all these recipes are specifically Italian. For example, how do you classify chocolate covered pecans?
But I did do my best to locate recipes, including my own, that I thought my readers would appreciate.
Pecan Christmas Recipes
I’m sure that this collection of pecan recipes will inspire you, whether you’re looking for appetizers, side dishes, cookies or desserts. In fact, I think some of these recipes are good for any holiday, not just Christmas.
If you find yourself suddenly motivated and ready to grab a bag of pecans, here are some places you can order them online.
Price compare to find the best deal, and don’t forget to see what deals they have with shipping. One last tip – make sure you’re ordering the right pecan cut – halves, chopped or whatever the recipe calls for.
Pecan cookies along with many others on this list can often be made in advance and stored in an airtight container either in the fridge or in the freezer. Let’s get to planning!
