Buy Candied Praline Pecans
There is a particular smell that comes off a copper kettle when sugar, butter, and pecans meet heat, and anyone who grew up in the South knows it immediately. Our candied praline pecans are built on that memory. Twelve ounces of orchard-fresh Texas pecan halves, coated in a light praline candy shell that is sweet enough to feel like a treat but restrained enough that you can taste the nut underneath. Gluten free, made in small batches, and shipped from the same San Saba kitchen where we make everything else.
What Makes These Texas Pecan Pralines Worth Ordering
The nut comes first. Because our family owns the orchard, the shelling plant, and the candy kitchen, the pecans going into each batch of pecan praline candy were harvested this season and shelled a short distance from where they get candied. Fresh pecans have a natural buttery sweetness, and a good praline coating should frame that rather than smother it. Ours is thin, crisp, and lightly caramelized, so you get a clean snap and then the nut itself.
- Real pecan halves, not pieces or fragments, so every bite has structure.
- Balanced sweetness that works for grown-up palates as well as it does for kids.
- Gluten free, with a short and honest ingredient list.
- Small batch, made to order rather than pulled from a warehouse pallet.
- Ready to gift, in a 12 oz bag that fits a stocking, a gift basket, or a desk drawer.
Ways to Use Pralined Pecans Beyond Snacking
Most bags get opened in the car on the way home, and we understand that. But if any survive the drive, pecans and pralines do lovely work in the kitchen. Chop them over a green salad with blue cheese and pear. Scatter them across sweet potato casserole or roasted Brussels sprouts, where the sweetness plays against the salt. Fold them into vanilla ice cream, press them onto a cheesecake edge, or crush them into a crust for a pecan praline pie. They also make a beautiful finish on a charcuterie board, which is the kind of thing that looks like it took effort and did not.
Six Generations of Pecan and Praline Making in San Saba
Our great-great-grandfather E.E. Risien planted this orchard in 1888 at the junction of the San Saba and Colorado Rivers, and his grafting work helped make this town the Pecan Capital of the World. Six generations later the family still runs the operation end to end. When you buy pecan pralines from us, you are not buying from a distributor who sourced nuts on the open market. You are buying from the people who tend the trees. Pecans happen to be the only major tree nut native to North America, and they carry roughly 20 vitamins and minerals, which is a pleasant thing to know about a candy.

Q: HOW DO YOU STORE PECANS?
Refrigerator - Pecans will last for six months if stored in the refrigerator. Make sure they are in a Ziploc bag and that you store them in the coolest part of your refrigerator. Be sure that the bag is sealed to ensure freshness and quality.
Freezer - Pecans can last for one year if stored in the freezer. Make sure they are in a Freezer Ziploc bag. Just simply take 1 pound out at a time and let them thaw before you use them.

Q: WHAT VITAMINS AND MINERALS ARE FOUND IN PECANS?
-
Q: WHY ARE MOST PECANS NOT ORGANIC?
- Pecans trees (Carya illinoinensis) grow natively in Texas and there is only a minimal need for spray.
- San Saba, TX ("The Pecan Capital of the World") is a dryer climate requiring less spray than other regions of the U.S.
- In most regions, if not sprayed, the vast majority of the crop would be lost.
- Less than 5% of pecan orchards are organic for these reasons.
- Only the hull is sprayed... the hull surrounds the pecan shell.
- Pecans have a double layer protection. The meat is protected by a hard pecan shell. The pecan shell is then protected by the exterior pecan hull.
- Because of this protection, it is known that the spray is not harming the consumer.
-
Q: SOME PECANS ARE SOFTER THAN PECANS I AM USED TO EATING. ARE THEY STALE?
A fresh pecan is softer than most nuts because it is full of high nutrient oil. They are not stale, they are fresh. Also, this soft texture makes them great for breakfast and dessert toppings.
