"Kentucky Pecan Pie"

 

Who doesn't like pecan pie during the holidays?  When I was a little guy, we had a friend, Mrs. Creewal (sp), who loved making pies and since she and her husband were good friends of my mom and dad, she made pies for us.  Back then, my dad and I loved her chocolate pie; but just as good - was the pecan.

My wife has a couple of pecan pie recipes, so we took some ideas from them, especially the "Kentucky Pecan Pie" recipe, and brought a few in from the web, and here is our new recipe.

Hope you enjoy it as much as we have.

1.5 C White Corn Syrup
1.5 C Dark Brown Sugar
