Chef's Notes:
This was our Custom House Restaurant's most asked for this recipe. However, many of our customers would tell us that they did not get the same flavors at home as in the restaurant. This was puzzling at first because it was the exact recipe that I used. The mystry was solved when we started to ask customers if they actually roasted the nuts before mixing the ingredinets. To a one they accknowledged that they hadn't. Therefore, the secrete to the recipe is to roast the pecans.
