I love pecan pie. I don't like many desserts (thank goodness or I'd have even more of a weight problem) but I love pecan pie. After a couple of pumpkin recipes I thought I deserved to make a treat for work that I liked. I took bits and pieces of different recipes and tried this. The pictures suck as I had to sneak my small digital camera into work and snap the photos on the table. They don't do it justice.
Pecan Bourbon Pie
1 pie crust, either homemade or store bought
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup melted butter
3 TBSP brown sugar
1 cup corn syrup
3 eggs
2 TBSP bourbon
1 cup pecans, slightly broken
Place pie crust in pie plate. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Beat all ingredients except pecans in a bowl by hand. Stir in pecans. Pour into crust and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until set. My pecans got a little brown so I should have covered the pie with some foil for the first 10 to 15 minutes, but it was still pretty darn tasty!
I want to wish each and every one of you a wonderful Thanksgiving. May it be filled with love, food, laughter and those you love.
Our nephew deploys tomorrow to Kuwait. We are thankful we have such a brave and selfless man. God Speed Riley. Keep your head down, your eyes open and thoughts of your wife waiting back here for you. We love you!
