The air is getting crisp, the leaves are turning, and our kitchens are calling for cozy, comforting flavors. It’s official—fall is here! And no ingredient captures the warm, nutty essence of the season quite like the pecan.
But not all pecans are created equal. When you’re looking for that buttery richness, vibrant flavor, and perfect crunch, Fisher Pecans are the nuts you need in your pantry. Right now you can stock up and save thanks to the sale available at your local Publix. Look for the big 16-ounce bags on sale now through 10/29.
Fisher Chef’s Naturals Chopped Pecans 16 oz, $12.99 (reg $15.59)
What sets Fisher Pecans apart is the commitment to quality and, most importantly, freshness. A fresh pecan delivers a rich, buttery flavor that can elevate any dish. This incredible taste is the backbone of all your fall baking and cooking—from sweet to savory! Yep, Fisher Pecans are unbelievably versatile. Ideal for any dish, they add texture and depth wherever they go.
Craving something sweet? Add Fisher Pecans to chewy blondies, your morning oatmeal, maple-glazed sweet potatoes, or simply toast and sprinkle over vanilla ice cream.
When it comes to savory dishes, this is where the pecan really shines in the fall! Use them as a crunchy coating for fish or chicken, toss them into a wild rice stuffing, or, my personal favorite, as the star of an easy, elegant appetizer like my Pecan Crusted Harvest Goat Cheese Log.
This appetizer is the definition of simple elegance. It features a log of creamy, tangy goat cheese rolled in a mix of lightly spiced Fisher Pecans and dried cranberries with the perfect hint of fresh rosemary. The soft, spreadable texture of the goat cheese is the perfect complement to the hearty crunch of the pecans.
This tasty dish only takes minutes to assemble. Plus, it can be made ahead of time, and looks absolutely stunning on a cheese board surrounded by apple slices, crackers, and crostini.
Ingredients
Method
- Heat oven to 350°F. Line rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- In large bowl, add the pecans, rosemary, butter, brown sugar, salt and cayenne pepper. Mix to combine.
- Place nut mixture on baking sheet. Bake 5 to 8 minutes or until fragrant and lightly toasted.
- Allow the mixture to cool then finely chop and mix with the parsley and cranberries.
- Roll your goat cheese in the nut mixture, pressing gently to coat.
- Drizzle with honey and serve with crackers, fruit or toasted baguette.
But this log isn’t just for a party platter! I love it added to a tasty fall salad. Just slice the chilled log into medallions and serve them on a bed of fresh greens with roasted butternut squash, and a simple balsamic vinaigrette for a lunch or light dinner that screams autumn.
So, as you stock your pantry for the cozy months ahead, don’t settle for anything less than the best. Grab a bag of Fisher Pecans and enjoy the fresh, flavorful, and incredibly versatile crunch of the season!
