Honey Pecan Pie

This scrumptious Honey Pecan Pie is a delectable way to end your Thanksgiving dinner, if you're celebrating. If you're not (or if you already did on 9th October!), you can still bake it, simply because it is a delicious pie!

Ingredients (serves 6 to 8):

For the pastry

1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon white sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

¼ cup ice water

For the filling

2 cups pecan halves

½ cup unsalted butter

½ cup demerara sugar

3/4 cup good, pure set honey

2 tablespoons good whisky

2 teaspoons Homemade Vanilla Extract

¼ teaspoon salt

the seeds of ½ plump vanilla bean

3 large eggs

In a food processor attached with the plastic blade, combine flour, sugar and salt. Pulse a few times, to combine. Add butter and process, scraping the sides occasionally, until mixture resembles coarse meal. While on low speed, gradually add water until a soft ball forms. Remove from the food processor, flatten wrap tightly in cling film, and store in the refrigerator for at least half an hour.

Roll pastry out onto a lightly floured surface, adding more flour as you roll to roll it quite thinly. Fit pastry into a buttered 9″ pie plate, letting it hang over the edges. Trim excess pastry, and flute. Prick the base of the pie with a fork. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes, or in the refrigerator for half an hour.

Toast pecan halves in a frying pan over a high flame until fragrant. Remove from the heat; set aside.

In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, stir in demerara sugar, until dissolved. Remove from heat and pour mixture into a large bowl. Stir in honey, Whisky, Vanilla Extract, salt and vanilla seeds. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition.

Sprinkle pecans in pie shell. Pour egg mixture over top. Bake in the middle of the oven, at 180°C/355°F, for 45 minutes to an hour, until crust is golden brown and filling is set. Remove from the oven and let pie cool at room temperature.

Serve Honey Pecan Pie lukewarm with Maple Whipped Cream or crème fraîche.

National Nut Day

Walnut, Hazelnut, Chestnut, Kola Nuts, Pine Nuts, Cashews, and more. There are more types of nuts in the world than most people realize, and many more of these are used for food than people suspect. Most people have a favorite kind of nut, most commonly involved in a favored kind of treat, but there are varieties and uses for nuts that are not commonly known.

Did you know that the flavor in your cola originally came from the Kola Nut? Or that Beech Nuts are commonly used as feed for animals? From ages past these high-fat, high-protein tree seeds have served as a major source of winter survival. Their natural ability to be stored and resist decay throughout the winter has made them a valuable resource for animals and humans alike.

What’s even more fascinating is that nuts have been revealed to have notable health benefits for those with a history of Coronary Heart Disease by lowering LDL cholesterol concentrations.

Learn about National Nut Day

National Nut Day has been created in order to encourage the public to consume healthier snack options. What is your go-to snack? A packet of crisps? A chocolate bar? We know that we are guilty of going for the unhealthy option more regularly than we should! So, why not use National Nut Day as the perfect opportunity to switch up your workplace snack? Some nuts, or a combination of nuts and dried fruit, is a healthy snack that will bring a lot of benefits.

The great thing about nuts is that there are so many different types and varieties to choose from. They come in many different sizes and shapes. You have everything from wrinkly walnuts to teardrop-shaped almonds, and so you are bound to find something that appeals to your taste buds.

We also love National Nut Day because nuts are not only delicious, but they are nutritious as well. Different nuts have different benefits. For example, almonds are rich in vitamin E, calcium, and protein. Another beneficial type of nuts is pistachios. They are high in fiber and they can help to reduce a rise in blood sugar after you have had a meal. Walnuts are also very popular, and they are a great source of omega-3 fatty acid. They can improve factors relating to heart health. Or, what about cashews? Cashews can improve blood pressure and they have a good nutrient profile too.

It is definitely a good idea to do a bit of research on your favorite nuts on Nuts Day too. You will be surprised by the different benefits that are associated with the variety of nuts out there. For a piece of food that is so small, it certainly packs a powerful punch when it comes to the different nutrients and benefits that it can bring.

History of National Nut Day

The Liberation Foods Company organized National Nut Day to celebrate the long and storied history of the nut, as well as to dispel some pernicious myths, such as the persistent idea that peanuts are a nut for instance. Nuts have been part of our diets for time out of mind, a trait we likely learned by following our fuzzy four footed brethren to their winter stores.

Since the inception of National Nut Day, great festivals have sprung up around the world to celebrate the versatility and great taste of the nut. There’s nothing like the rich smell of roast nuts to remind you that fall is here, and there is nothing to soothe a sweet tooth like a roast candied nut. Orange Glazed, Cinnamon, Sweet Chipotle are just a few of the common and more unusual flavors available in the world of the nut.

How to celebrate National Nut Day

The best way to celebrate National Nut Day is by treating yourself to your favorite nut related treat. Whether that’s a nut rich doughnut or a bag of your favorite roasted nuts, National Nut Day is an opportunity to indulge in the rich, nutty taste of.. well.. nuts!

There are often events held by vendors of nuts and their enthusiasts, where they share activities, introduce new types of nuts, and even share the best nut recipes. So get out there and improve your health and your winter with these shell-covered treasures.

There are plenty of other activities that you can do on National Nut Day. This includes making your favorite nut butter. A lot of people love nut butter, but why go to the store and purchase the premade version when you can probably make a much nicer version yourself? All you need to do is grab your favorite nut and throw them into a food processor. Most people will add some sweetener, and then all you need to do is blitz the combination. It really is as easy as that. Some people love their creation so much that they simply eat it out of the food processor. We won’t tell if you don’t!

Another way to celebrate National Nut Day is by adding them to your meal. Nuts are incredibly versatile, meaning they can be added to everything from breakfast to dinner. They go just as good in oatmeal as they do a stir-fry or salad. You can also brighten up someone else’s day on National Nut Day by bringing them a nut-based treat. A snack-sized packet of nut goodies is bound to put a smile on anyone’s face. It’s always nice when someone thinks about you, right?

Cognac and Honey Pecan Pie

Another more-ish pie, this delightfully scrumptious Cognac and Honey Pecan Pie was our Thanksgiving dessert. Mum, Dad and I had second helpings; Jules had a third and fourth --thinner slices, of course, but still! That's how good it is, and you needn't have an occasion to bake it; it makes a wonderful mid-arvo treat! Happy Tuesday!

Ingredients (serves 6 to 8):

For the pastry

1 1/2 cup plain flour

2 heaped tablespoons caster sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

1/4 cup cold lard, cut into small cubes

¼ cup ice water

For the filling

2 cups pecan halves

½ cup unsalted butter

½ cup demerara sugar

¾ cup good, pure set honey

4 tablespoons good Cognac or Brandy

2 teaspoons Homemade Vanilla Extract

¼ teaspoon salt

the seeds of ½ plump vanilla bean

3 large eggs

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt. Give a good stir. Add butter and lard, and rub them into the flours with your fingers until mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually add water until a soft ball forms. Flatten pastry, wrap tightly in cling film, and store in the refrigerator for at least half an hour.

Roll pastry out onto a lightly floured surface, adding more flour as you roll to roll it quite thinly. Fit pastry into a buttered 23cm/9″ pie tin or plate, letting it hang over the edges. Trim excess pastry, and crimp. Prick the base of the pie with a fork. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes, or in the refrigerator for half an hour.

Toast pecan halves in a frying pan over a high flame until fragrant. Remove from the heat; set aside.

In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, stir in demerara sugar, until dissolved. Remove from heat and pour mixture into a large bowl. Stir in honey, Cognac, Vanilla Extract, salt and vanilla seeds. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition.

Sprinkle pecans in pie shell. Pour egg mixture over top. Bake in the middle of the oven, at 180°C/355°F, for 45 minutes to an hour, until crust is golden brown and filling is set. Remove from the oven and let pie cool at room temperature.

National Grab Some Nuts Day

National  Grab Some Nuts Day on August 3 is the ultimate nutty day. Nuts,  legumes, seeds drupes, either way – they’re all considered nuts and are  all in some way a part of our daily diet. Nuts are rich in nutrients and  minerals, and if eaten in the correct quantities, are great for  improving our health.  This day promotes the consumption of all nuts,  the health benefits, and their tastiness. You won’t be surprised to hear  that it’s a very nutty occasion.  

History of National Grab Some Nuts Day

Although  the origin of National Grab Some Nuts Day is unknown, we do know that  when this day first started being observed there was some confusion to  its purpose. Some were celebrating the nuts we eat, whereas others  thought it was all about the metal nuts that go with bolts. Whilst these  metal nuts obviously serve their purpose, we’d rather be celebrating  food, which is pretty much our stance on most matters.

There is also ample discussion on what is defined as  a nut and what is a legume.  A legume  is generally recognized as a pod containing multiple seeds that begins  to open on its own when the season for harvesting approaches. For the purposes of National Grab Some Nuts Day, we suggest celebrating the day by grabbing a handful and savoring the taste!

Whatever  it may be, either botanical or non botanical nuts, nuts have an  impressive amount of protein, vitamins, minerals, potassium, iron and so  on. They say “an apple a day keeps the doctor away,” but even nuts are also capable of this! Consider consuming nuts on a daily basis for snacking to absorb those important nutrients.  

Other  nutty days do occur throughout the year. These include National Almond  Day and National Pecan Day. There’s also a day for cashews, walnuts,  peanuts, macadamia nuts, pistachios, and chestnuts. This day is a day for celebrating all these days bundled up in one and grabbing handfuls of as many different kinds as you like. Raw or roasted. Salted, seasoned or plain.
