SWEET CARROT PECAN PIE
During the depression, government food banks provided potatoes and carrots. Many dishes were developed such as carrot pie to bring something sweet to the table without taking too much from already empty pockets. Here's a modern day version using sweetened condensed milk to give the pie a smooth creamy consistency. Enjoy!

- 4. TIP: if you don't have nutmeg, ground ginger and ground cloves, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of Pumpkin Pie Spices
- 5. Optional Crust Enhancement-- For a special treat, try the Gingersnap Pecan Crust Recipe-- When using this crust, we leave out the ginger in the carrot filling and the pecans from the top, in favor of the crust which is made of crushed gingersnap cookies and chopped pecans-- This version will make your mouth snap to attention and say "OoohLaLa!"
Tips:
- Use fresh carrots. Fresh carrots have a sweeter flavor and more nutrients than carrots that have been stored for a long time.
- Grate the carrots finely. This will help them cook evenly and will make the pie filling smoother.
- Toast the pecans. Toasting the pecans will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
- Use a combination of brown sugar and granulated sugar. Brown sugar will give the pie filling a richer flavor, while granulated sugar will help to keep it from becoming too sweet.
- Don't overcook the pie. The pie is done when the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
Conclusion:
Carrot pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy flavor, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new dessert to try, give carrot pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
