I am tackling a family favorite-pecan pie-and hoping that, after some practice, I will get family approval.  This is a big jump for me and my kitchen – Pecan Pie.  You see, my grandmother was THE pecan pie maker in our family and since her death no one has made a homemade pecan pie.  I wish I could fully describe the huge shoes I need to fill here; she was simply amazing, both in life and in the kitchen.

    This does look good I’ve had dark Karo syrup for years, and have been puzzled what to do with it, this is perfect, and haven’t ever made a pecan pie before.

    This looks so delicious! It’s been a long while since I’ve made a pecan pie. I’d love to make this!

    Pecan pie is definitely one of my absolute favorites! The last recipe I tried was very good but not stellar, and I don’t remember that one having anywhere near as much vanilla extract as this one does. I bet that makes a difference – I need to try this recipe next!
