Suzanne's Best Pecan Pie image

NO CORN SYRUP! This was my first attempt at pecan pie and will never use another recipe. My mother has been famous for her pecan pie for decades and this beats out hers! My guests and I all agreed this was the best pecan pie ever and it was very easy! My picky non-pie eating sweetie had seconds and could not stop raving (which he never does!). This was the biggest hit of my entire Thanksgiving dinner. No one touched the pumpkin pie! This uses Brown Rice Syrup which is more healthful, less sweet and tastes like caramel. It is OUTSTANDING in pies and can be bought at a natural foods store. The key to really delicious pecan pie that sets well is to grind the walnuts!

Time 55m

Yield 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 frozen pie shell (I use Whole Wheat)
1 1/2-2 cups pecans
3/4 cup brown rice syrup
1/2 cup maple syrup (the real kind!)
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 eggs
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon brandy or 1 tablespoon sherry wine
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • In a saucepan, combine syrups, brown sugar, butter and vanilla. While stirring, bring to a boil so the butter and sugar dissolve. Remove from heat and add cream and brandy. Set aside.
  • While mixture is cooling, grind pecans in a food processor.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat eggs with an electric hand mixer or fork.
  • Add pecans and syrup mixture to the eggs and stir well with a fork.
  • Pour into frozen, unbaked pie shell and place on a cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 45 minutes.
  • After removing from the oven, brush the top of the pie and the crust with heavy cream.
  • Cool completely! Serve with fresh whipped cream if desired.
  • This can be made a day or 2 in advance and keeps very well covered in foil.

This pecan pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling next time. Otherwise, the pie was easy to make and turned out beautifully.

I made this pecan pie for my family and they loved it! The filling was gooey and delicious, and the crust was flaky and buttery. I will definitely be making this pie again.

This pecan pie was a disaster! The crust was soggy and the filling was runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this pie again.
