I love desserts. Many types of desserts actually. Cheesecake is my favorite. But pecan pie is at the top of my list as well. Growing up, I remember my aunt had an orchard of pecan trees. The pecans would fall to the ground each fall. And yes, we had to pick them up from the ground into our huge containers. We did not have machinery to do that task for us. But as a child it was fun, something different to do.
The adults would shell the pecans. And they would freeze them for future use. Mainly pecan pies. Homemade pecan pies are hard to beat. I remember roasted pecans were delicious as well.
Do you have a favorite dessert?

Jay is from Alabama and they use to pick pecans on a relative's property. He makes wonderful pecan pies and eats them, too!

@CarolDM It's a very simple recipe, his sister gave him. White Karo syrup is the main ingredient. The crust, he buys them at WalMart.

@CarolDM LOL, I sometimes candy pecans and place a few on top of the cheese cake.

I love almost all kinds of pie. I prefer pecan over pumpkin any day!
I enjoyed your reminiscent story about picking pecans as a child.

Wow! Now, I am craving at this ungodly hour. Hahaha. I like anything sweet like black forest cake, carrot cupcake, blueberry cheesecake, cheese-flavored ice cream, vanilla-flavored ice cream, chocolate mint-flavored ice cream, almond donuts, etc. But I can't have dessert anymore since I am diabetic. 
How I wish sugar-free ones are readily available anywhere, but they are just hard to find.

Pecan pie? I have never tasted one. The closest thing that I have tasted that comes to mind is syrupy walnut pie, which is really delicious. Pecan pie must also be delicious, if I judge from the picture of it.

Chocolate cake all the way. But I do enjoy apple or pumpkin pie also.

I've always loved to bake pecan pies. A friend is bringing me some pecans soon to put in the freezer. Do you make your own pie crust? I wish I could, but mine don't turn out well.

Yes, usually ice cream, but I'm trying to cut it out.
