Happy Thanksgiving!!
IN THE NEWS: A Massachusetts woman is seeking donations from fellow pet lovers to help pay for eye surgery for her turkey named Jerry. Read more HERE.
I'm off the kiddo's school for a little Thanksgiving day party.
(I'm bringing the popcorn, FYI)
I hope everyone has safe travels and lots of good food tomorrow. I'm heading off to my brother's. He's frying his turkey, and in exchange I promised to bring his favorite pie: pecan.
(But I'm also bring an apple pie, too)
I always get requests to make the pecan pie. I really don't know why. To me, it's the easiest of pies to make, but my family thinks I have the knack. Actually, what I really have is my mother-in-law's recipe. And I'll share it with you now:
Kentucky Pecan Pie
Ingredients:
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 large eggs, slightly beaten
1 TBsp rum
1 heaping cup pecan halves
1 pie shell, unbaked, 9-inch
Preparation:
In a large bowl, combine corn syrup, brown sugar, salt, butter, and vanilla; mix well. Add slightly beaten eggs and blend well; stir in pecans and rum. Pour into the unbaked pie shell.
Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 45 minutes, or until set. Cool pecan pie and serve with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Yum.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving day!
Psalm 106:1
Praise the Lord!
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,for his steadfast love endures forever!

Happy Thanksgiving Jennifer! Travel safely and thanks sharing the recipe. I'll hand it down to my mom- she's the baker.
Wow, that pie sounds so rich. Yikes! Have a great day. :-)
I LOVE pecan pie. It's the ultimate in sweetness (my weakness).
Hope you have a wonderful, blessed day tomorrow.

Sharing a computer is nuts! That was me, not Crystal, my daughter ...

I don't think I've ever had pecan pie, but it looks amazing. Happy Thanksgiving to you!
I love pecan pie, but have never tried to make it. Thank you for the recipe.
Yum! Sounds delicious! I've never tried to make one because it was always my aunt's specialty. Have a great holiday!!

Happy Thanksgiving to you, too! And that pie sounds yummy!
Happy Thanksgiving Jennifer. The secret to your mom-in-law's recipe is the rum. Sounds yummy. Tell her your blogging buds thank her from the bottom of their hearts. Thank you too.
I sure hope Jerry gets what he deserves. :)

The pecan pie sounds yummy. Happy Thanksgiving!
LOVE this blog.
Just ate a piece of pecan pie, made YOUR way (the Southern way) after a bowl of Turkey gumbo.
You start with the roux...

Happy belated Thanksgiving. My wife loves pecan pie, only without the pecans. It's a pure sugar rush, but it's good.
This year was my first attempt to make a gluten free pecan pie and I'm happy to report it turned out yummy. I hope your holiday was wonderful. One of these days we are going to try frying the turkey.
Om nom nom! That sounds good! I love Pecan but ours is sans rum. I think that I'll have to try your recipe! Happy Thanksgiving (weekend)! hehe
