I have too. I have to go finish the mashed potatoes. Have a great day!! Talk with you later. :)
GeeBee, my recipe is easy, but it is the absolute best Pecan Pie recipe I have ever eaten, and there is no way, nor any need, to even try another one. It is my family recipe and I don’t know how many years we’ve been making it! Here, if you are interested:
I make my own pie crust, but I have also used Pillsbury’s refrigerated pie crust (2 crusts for a 9-inch pie - just unroll), because it’s really not too bad! LOL
Pecan Pie ~ 350 degrees ~ 1 hour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup (white) Karo syrup
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup melted BUTTER (NOT margarine)
3 eggs (VERY WELL BEATEN)
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans (please do not use ‘store-bought’!)
Mix sugar, karo & salt. Add melted butter and blend well. Add eggs and vanilla. Blend well. Add pecans, stir, and pour into unbaked pie shell. Bake until knife comes out clean. (about 1 hour, but check at 50 - 55 minutes)
So great to hear from you! Have a safe trip driving home!
See ya! Have a lovely day and a wonderful Thanksgiving!
(((hugs)))
LOL! By “my family recipe”, I do mean MY family - my mom never made another pecan pie except that one! She actually used to “place” pecan halves in a beautiful pattern on top of the filling before baking it. :) I don’t - it doesn’t cut as clean as pecan pieces!
You are so right Billie!
Mama_Bear, your lovely opening had not yet been posted when I started putting my Thanksgiving pictures together, and your picture, poem and holidays to celebrate today, were then posted without my knowledge when I clicked “post”. Thank you for your diligent work - it is greatly appreciated.
Amy, Billie, Meg and Jaycee, thank you too for the beautiful energy you consistantly put in your graphics, poetry and kind, loving words to all of us.
You are all appreciated SOOooooooo much!
Happy Thanksgiving!
You are welcome, GeeBee. There’s really pretty much no way it can fail. Just don’t overcook it - mine’s still sorta soft when I take it out of the oven (toothpick DOES come out clean though) :)
And honestly, that Pillsbury pie crust is better than most ready-mades and even some homemades. :)
Have a wonderful Turkey Day!
This is not a good day for people on a see food diet.
Well, parts of the Aries woman is very much like me. Others, no. (Like it said Aries women have a very short temper - totally false for this Aries!)
The eyes are green (not brown or grey).
Thanks for posting that, LJ!
Thank you, yorkie. Everyone here - everyone! - does so much to make Amy’s a beautiful and fun and warm place to get away from some of the ugly stuff in the world. I absolutely LOVE creating, and the pc is so much easier than mixing oils and cleaning brushes! The openings themselves are always a pleasure to do (I know I speak for Lori and Meg and Amy, too), but always nice to hear they’re appreciated. :)
LOL! I’m glad you said “see”. :)
Just looking at the photos is making me so hungry!!!!!

Thank you Billie, and thank you for bringing the pecan pie tomorrow! (and the recipe) Thanksgiving wouldn’t be right without a perfect pecan pie!
P.S. I love your graphics, especially the ones that have the word “Billie” in the right hand corner!
:)
Welcome - looking forward to dinner at yorkie’s. :)
Maybe it just means that you’re not 100% Aries. No one is 100% their sign and some are less than others.
A dear friend was born Leo like me and doesn’t fit the profile. Turns out she is mostly Virgo & Libra.
Excellent tip for me. I tend to over cook things. I’ll be careful not to dry it out.
Pillsbury crust it is!
Thanks again. Enjoy your day, Billie!
