I've always had a love hate relationship with pecan pie. While I love the overall flavor, it always seemed too sticky and sweet to me.
My husband hinted that he would like a pecan pie for our Easter dinner this year so I went online to fine a recipe and this one got hundreds of positive reviews and I noticed it didn't have any corn syrup in the recipe so I knew it was worth a try!
I'm so glad I took a chance because it is SO good! It has the same flavor as a traditional pecan pie with a lighter texture.
CORN SYRUP FREE PECAN PIE

1 teaspoon VANILLA EXTRACT
1 cup chopped PECANS
1 PIE SHELL
STEP 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
STEP 2: In a large bowl, beat eggs until foamy, and stir in melted butter. Stir in the brown sugar, white sugar and the flour; mix well. Last add the milk, vanilla and nuts.
STEP 3: Pour into unbaked 9-in pie shell. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes at 400 degrees, then reduce temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until done
I have the same issue with pecan pie. I'm going to pin this so I remember as it's my Father in laws favourite. Thanks for sharing! Feel free to stop by and share with my readers. http://rhapsodyofcacophony.blogspot.ca/2012/04/pin-ed-it-made-it-party-0427.html
