Pecan
| Key facts |
|---|
The glossy dark pink shell, which looks as if it has been manicured, and toffee flavoured kernel suggests exactly what this is: a glamorous relation of the gnarled and grumpy old walnut.
No bitter aftertaste here – the pecan is a true cutie-pie. Pecan trees originally grew wild and extensively in America, though they are now farmed, mostly in Georgia and Texas.
Serves 6Caribbean Banana and Raisin Strudel
Rum-soaked fruit and bananas are combined in filo pastry for this wonderful strudel, which looks hugely impressive when served. Add some vanilla ice cream for a dessert to die for!
Serves 4Baked Apples with Pecans and Maple Syrup
Just three ingredients here, but they meld together beautifully to create a simple, yet simply stunning, dessert that has more than a hint of Americana!
The Ultimate Carrot Cake with Mascarpone, Fromage Frais and Cinnamon Icing
Made with wholemeal flour, this wonderfully impressive cake would make the perfect centrepiece for afternoon tea - an absolute treat and bound to become your chosen carrot cake recipe!
For the loaf cake:Quick Apricot, Apple and Pecan Loaf Cake
Use the right-sized tin and you can't go wrong with this blissfully easy cake - everyone you make it for will be amazed that it was so simple as it tastes divine.
Serves 10-12Spiced Apple Muffin Cake with Pecan Streusel Topping
Instead of making individual muffins, this recipe makes one large cake (or you could do small ones if you prefer). Although this one is made with apple, you could equally use plums or apricots in the summer.
