BOURBON PECAN PIE



Bourbon Pecan Pie image

This is a classic and simple recipe given a Southern kick with a little bourbon. The alcohol will evaporate when you bake the pie, and you're left with a richly flavored, gooey dessert, intensely sweet with a baseline of vanilla. You do need both light and dark corn syrup for this - using only one or the other will change the pie's flavor. (Don't let making your own pie crust intimidate you: our pie guide has everything you need to know.)

Tips:

  • Using a heavy-bottomed saucepan will help prevent the butter and sugar mixture from burning.
  • Make sure the sugar mixture is completely dissolved before boiling. Stir it constantly to prevent crystallization.
  • Do not overboil the sugar mixture. It should reach the soft-ball stage, which is 235°F (113°C) on a candy thermometer.
  • Be careful when handling the hot sugar mixture. It can cause severe burns.
  • Stir in the nuts and dried fruit just until they are coated with the sugar mixture. Do not overmix, or they will become tough.
  • Let the candy cool completely before cutting it into pieces.
  • Store the candy in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
