In October, we announced the 2024 pecan harvest had arrived. November saw harvest underway in a rush to get pecans ready for Thanksgiving. As December arrived, harvest is winding down. This is the best time for getting the freshest pecans. However, the end of the year does not mean the end of delicious pecans from Baucum Nut House! Pecans, candied pecans, smoked pecans, roasted pecans, pecan nut rolls...While pecans are harvested in the fall each year, when properly stored, they can be enjoyed all year. There are options for having enough pecans for snacking, cooking and baking year round. One option is to purchase enough in the fall, and freeze what you plan on needing the rest of the year. Pecans freeze well and thaw out wonderfully. If storage space is limited or a large annual purchase isn’t preferred, Baucum Nut House can meet the need for pecans anytime. We opt for in-shell cold storage of pecans, which allows us to crack and shell what’s needed as orders come in. Shop our website for orders that can be shipped or picked up in store year round. Pecans kept in cold storage during the off season stay fresh longer. We purchased some pecans from a national grocery store chain for comparison. The purchased pecans were much drier, darker, and lacking in flavor. They are not stored in a way that keeps them fresh, or they have been stored so long that the quality has deteriorated. In contrast, our in-season pecans are honey-blonde in color, plump, and full of flavor, and we strive to maintain this quality until next year's harvest.
