Yes I know it’s not fall yet, but it’s close enough! Because I am still trying to get in Randys good graces for not making our traditional “first meal” in our new home, I figured it might help if I did make his favorite pie. So when we stopped at the store for all the pantry items we had given away when we moved, I grabbed a big ole bottle of corn syrup. Please no need to send me articles telling me how awful corn syrup is for us, we already know. But when you get old like us, we figure that all the getting up at night to potty, picking up all the things we drop during the day, going back several times into the other room to get what we were after but kept forgetting the first few times we walked in the room, would help clear out some of the bad stuff out of our system! And now, we have to walk from the elevator down the hall to our place and also go back down to the car should we forget anything we left when we get home from Dr visits or restaurants or Walmart where we began this little episode of buying corn syrup!
Anyway, back to the story of the pecan pie! It seems that for some reason, both of us have ditched chocolate cream pie as our favorite for pecan pie. Maybe that is an old persons preference, so if that is the case, I guess we have to admit we are old, because both of us could eat pecan pie several times a week! Looking thru some old recipes after moving, I came across this one that I think (who knows, because it happened many moons ago) it came from the Dallas Morning News. It was different from the pecan pie I always made that had both white and brown sugar! So I made this one and we both agreed that we love this recipe for pecan pie the best. So buy yourself a big “ole” bottle of corn syrup and make this pecan pie….it will make you want to get the pumpkins from the closet and a Turkey on the table!
I’m just taking a picture of the article that I cut out of the paper.
