It’s one of my favorites.

If anyone here makes it, I thought I’d share the filling recipe that my family has used. Most recipes you find call for Karo syrup. It’s lame


1 cup pure Maple syrup
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup melted butter


Beat together with a hand mixer

Stir in 1 cup pecans

Pour into 9” pie pan that has your rolled pastry formed

Bake at 375° for 50 minutes

Nice
The exception for me is using ribbon cane syrup
instead of maple since we have no maple trees.
My folks had been making and using ribbon
cane syrup for generations

If it didn't give me a stroke, I could probably sit
down and devour a pie to myself

Mom always used regular ole store bought Karo syrup to make her pecan pies. She’d also always have the pecan half’s lined out in perfectly arranged rows, too. Yep 🤪

Sure do miss her more during the Holidays. She’d always make Pecan Pies, Homemade chocolate & peanut butter fudge, Coconut Crème Pie, and the best homemade German Chocolate Cake I’ve ever had anywhere for Christmas. 😢

Yep. Ya gotta carry on when people pass. Make an effort to keep the food you were brought up on in your life. I have all my family’s recipes back 100 years. The file folders are amazing


I use pecan pieces. It makes cutting slices much easier

Most folks do nowadays. Wouldn’t stop me from eating several pieces. 😬

Mom was just very particular on how her pies looked, besides for how good they tasted, too. She was always a stickler for details. Her pies won so manny 1st place ribbons at the County Fair, that she stopped entering them.

Her broken or chopped up pecan pieces went into the German chocolate cake & brownies.

We have recipe cards written by grandmothers, mothers , aunts etc… keep a lot of dishes going that were handed down as well as retrying new ones we get places like here.

If you use Karo, you should use 1/2 light and 1/2 dark.

Looks great.

The wife makes me one, every year, on my birthday. She adds dark chocolate chips and shredded/toasted coconut, to the mix (family recipe from the Carolinas). Sinful!

Golden Eagle makes a much better pie than Karo IMHO. I've never tried Maple. I also like to make them with Black Walnuts.

Bob White syrup made an awesome pie when it was in production. I've used Alaga syrup and King syrup since Bob White bit the dust, and both work well too.
