There is nothing more disappointing than to bite into something you believe to be extraordinary and find it wanting… however, this was not the case! I have found all too many Pecan pies overly syrupy, overly hard or much like the famous soup where only 1 Pecan swam through. The problems were clear… even in the best recipes, cost dictated taste…. obviously, this presented wonderful opportunities for improvement!
What makes this pie so special is that it contains more eggs, no corn syrup just 100% honey and brown sugar, more pecans prepared three ways (meal, caramelized & chopped and whole), more butter, a candy quality thickener and a crust to die for!
This was a trial for Laura’s Birthday and she loved it… so that’s what matters.
