MINI SOUTHERN PECAN PIES
These tasty, pecan-filled mini pies are great for the holidays or an easy, elegant dessert anytime. The use of light corn syrup lets the pecan goodness shine through, rather than overwhelming with sugary sweetness. Be careful when eating these - if you get some of the filling on your face, your tongue may beat you to death trying to get to it! Try serving warm with vanilla ice cream. Serve warm or cool and place in airtight containers up to 1 week.

MINI PECAN-PUMPKIN PIES
If you love all that is wonderful about the holidays, i.e. pecans, cookies and pumpkins, this is the dessert for you! I saw this recipe recently while watching the Food Network and absolutely had to try them. And I did, and they were delicious. Recipe courtesy of Sunny Anderson from an episode of "Cooking for Real". As Sunny noted on the show, be sure to keep all ingredients for the cookie crust (excluding the water!) in the freezer prior to dough assembly; this will ensure a light and delectable finish.

Tips:
- For the Pie Crust: If you don't have a food processor, you can use a pastry blender or two knives to cut the butter into the flour. Work quickly to prevent the butter from getting too warm and melting.
- For the Filling: If you don't have canned pumpkin, you can use fresh pumpkin puree. To make fresh pumpkin puree, roast a pumpkin in the oven until it is soft, then scoop out the flesh and mash it until smooth.
- For Assembly: Be sure to preheat the oven before baking the pies. This will help to ensure that the crust is cooked evenly.
- For Serving: Let the pies cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help to prevent the filling from spilling out.
- For Storage: The pies can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the pies for up to 2 months. To freeze the pies, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag.
