Receta Mama's Pecan Pie
Continuing on with sharing our family's beloved holiday recipes…..
is my mother's recipe for pecan pie.
I have seen pecan pie being made in so many different ways. Some people like to put chocolate in theirs…or bourbon…or even make it into a pecan pie cheesecake.
Husband Man will not eat it if it has all those frilly ingredients attached to it.
Trust me, I've tried to change that by making different kinds over the years. In the end, it all boiled down to this recipe.
But plain is good. Right?
Less ingredients = less time spent in the kitchen = less mess
Or am I the only one who thinks this way? ;)
Anywho….here is our family's recipe for pecan pie.
