I usually think of pecan pie in the fall, but I guess it would be great any time of year, because, well, it’s pie!

Is it pronounced “pick-cahn” or “pee-can?”

I just can’t decide.

I wish I wasn’t on a low carb diet. My wife makes fantastic pecan pie.

My favorite PP was in a cafe in Gettysburg PA.

My mother used to make more of a custard-style pecan pie, though she wasn’t from Texas.

You’re right to think that because pecan harvest season is in the fall, mostly late October through November here in Georgia. I love pecans and make a mean pecan pie just like my mother and grandmother did. It is so sweet but it is divinely delicious.

When I saw the headline my first thought was: Who would put Pecan Pie Day in July?? Who wants to heat up the oven to bake a pie in July?

Just don’t eat the crust!...

The corn syrup is also a "bit" of an issue.

No, unfortunately. She died some years ago, and there are plenty of favorites I never got recipes for. Oh, well.

Actually, I made a delicious cherry pie for the 4th. Crust from scratch (I make a great pie crust), and I cheated by using some Amish cherry pie filling that I bought from the good folks north of me.

My mother usually called it a syrup custard pecan pie. Cook cane syrup, butter, and sugar until it reaches soft ball stage, 235-240 degrees. Cool it a little, gradually mix with an egg and vanilla and pecans. Pour into pastry shell and bake. Mmm Mmm good!

Sounds extremely tasty. I’m not totally opposed to baking in July but it’s 95 degrees here right now so I’ll wait for it to cool off a little. I love making my own crust too. Also the occasional cake of batch of cookies from scratch.

Those do sound similar to what I remember. My wife (from North Carolina) makes the more typical Karo-syrup-goo pecan pie, which is also really good. Maybe we’ll try out a custard-type recipe next time.
