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.
"Soon, I'll start looking for a package from Great-Grandma in South
Carolina. Then, as we crack the pecans, I can retell the 'pecan
story' to Michael and Ann, who know that Santa always looks for
pralines on Christmas Eve." from the Chicago Tribune annual Food
