You’re right to think that because pecan harvest season is in the fall, mostly late October through November here in Georgia. I love pecans and make a mean pecan pie just like my mother and grandmother did. It is so sweet but it is divinely delicious.
When I saw the headline my first thought was: Who would put Pecan Pie Day in July?? Who wants to heat up the oven to bake a pie in July?
Actually, I made a delicious cherry pie for the 4th. Crust from scratch (I make a great pie crust), and I cheated by using some Amish cherry pie filling that I bought from the good folks north of me.
