face. If your range has its limitations, you too will have limitations.

There is, however, one way to avoid such a fate: buy a Jenn-Arr.

The engineers at Jenn-Air have designed such an incredibly versatile cooking system
that the culinary possibilities are almost endless.

Notes on the Pecan Nut

(carya illinoensis)

by TROPIK SUN FRUIT & NUT

Much like the peanut. the
food value of the pecan is un-
surpassed Man could
survive solely on pecans for
a very long time up to two
months or more Our North

American = indians the
Cree, the Algonquin. the
Ojibway, the Obnakee ail

back packed these nuts on
long voyages These
nomadc tribes rarely travel
led without them since the

pecan is so nch in nutrition
Our word pecan comes
trom the Indian name ranging
trom) paccan to pagan to
Pagann, meaning nut with
hard shell to Crack

This is one mul we can
claim as being native to North
America Two Unled States
Presidents were so fond of
these  Gdelcately — tlavoured
nuts that they had them
planted on ther estates,
where they stil grow today

There are two types. of
pecan seeding and cults

It is interesting to note that a

pounds shelled, in contrast
to the almond whose yreld ts

The pecan ts one nut that,
growing wild, produces a
richer, tuller flavour contrary
to all cultivating processes
The difficulty in growing this
species 1s that it pollinates
only once every two years, a
process ail man’s research
has not been able to
conquer

Harvesting takes place
October through December,
using three methods The
first one 1s the ‘natural’ with
the nut falling to the ground
The second 1s hand.

fall Thirdly. a mechanical
shaking which loosens the
nuts The third method ([s
usually a last resort as some:
times this allows immature
nuts to fall which can be
bitter in taste
