Mama's Pecan Pie



I wanted to share a good, solid Pecan Pie recipe that will appeal to a broad range of palates. This is "Mama's Pecan Pie" from the cookbook Bon Appetit Ya'll".


Isn't this a pretty cookbook?


And here's the recipe, you can click on the picture to enlarge.

I overbaked it a tad due to a hot oven that I have to watch like a hawk. I think you will find this a safe pecan pie recipe that will be welcome in any serving situation. This throws together very, very easily and with store bought pie crusts you can be your own semi-homemade chef!

  6. Hi, Vanessa! What a beautiful blog you have here. I love your header and your background. It almost looks like one of my textures I've been using in my photography.
    This pie was a favorite in our home growing up. It's the pie my sister always asked for when it was her birthday. It looks excellent.

    Thanks for visiting my blog the other day!

  10. Hi Vanessa,
    Thanks for adding me to your blog list! I'm going to go ask Deb about the magnolia paintings for you. They really are pretty!
    I've made this pie but don't think my recipe uses as many pecans as this one. I'll have to add 2 cups MORE next time I make it! YUM!
