My beloved late grandma we effectionately called "Big Mama" was about the same size as Granny Clampett.Whenever she made this pie she never purchased store-bought pecans.They had 2 BIG pecan trees in the front yard.But little did I know where the recipe came from.That is one day my mama told me that it was on the back on Karo Light Corn Syrup.Does'nt matter...still my favorite! lol
