How do I (and many other USA Southerners) pronounce "caramel"?

How do you pronounce it at all when the damned stuff has your jaw glued shut?

How do y'all pronounce "pecan?" As a kid in South Carolina, I heard, "PEE-can." all I hear now is "puh-KAHN." Where I now live, in Oregon, they used to grow filberts. Now they get hazlenuts off the same trees. Go figure...
