Notes
• Pecans have a higher fat content than other nuts, so they’re more prone to going rancid. They’ll stay fresh for twice as long in the freezer as they would at room temperature.
• Place a damp paper towel under your cutting board to keep it from slipping on the counter while you chop your pecans
