mama's pecan pie - dee dee
Pecan Pie has always been a favorite in our family for as long as I can remember. This is a recipe I've used for many years. I was not sure if this was my mother's recipe or my former mother-in-law's until today (6/15/2012) when I found my mother's hand-written recipe. She would be pleased to know her recipe had won a blue ribbon. This pie was served at Thanksgiving and Christmas for as long as I can remember. It's a wonderful pie to say the least!
Blue Ribbon Recipe
This is an old-fashioned, classic Southern pecan pie that everyone needs in their Recipe Box for the holiday season. It's easy to make and creates a wonderful pecan pie. The pecans form a crust on top while the inside is perfectly gooey. Great served alone, but we highly recommend a dollop of whipped cream for a fancier slice. We opted to bake the richer recipe and loved the molasses-type flavor that dark corn syrup adds.
