MOM'S SOUTHERN PECAN PIE
My Mother first made this pie in 1949. The recipe was on a can of pecans. (I wasn't born then, but evidently pecans used to be sold in cans.) She kept the can in the kitchen cabinet. For some reason she never wrote it down. It's been a family favorite for 4 generations.

CHEF JOHN'S PECAN PIE
This is my idea of the perfect pecan pie. It has the perfect ratio of crunchy nuts to the sweet, sticky goodness underneath. And thanks to the blind-baking, the crust is wonderfully crisp.

Tips:

- To make sure the pie crust is cooked through, pre-bake it for 10 minutes before adding the filling.
- Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing can make the filling tough.
- Use high-quality pecans for the best flavor. Fresh, plump pecans are ideal.
- Bake the pie until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. This usually takes about 45 minutes.
- Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.
