Winner Jean McGree of Flossmoor "bores everyone," she says, with this
family tale of Christmas praline cookies: "Since the time Mom had been a
little girl, each November Grandma would surround her back yard pecan tree
with sheets to catch the falling nuts. But most of the nuts had to be
knocked from the branches with her long-handled broom. Then she would spend
hours stooped over those sheets, picking up the pecans and sorting the good
ones from the black and hollow shells.
"When her daughter married and moved away, the nuts were carefully picked
over, packaged and shipped 'up North.' Free time in the first week of
December was always marked for shelling the pecans. Sore hands and stiff
backs were repaid with secret nibbling and promises of praline cookies for
Christmas.
