When you think about Thanksgiving sweet , do you guess of Pumpkin Pie and Pecan Pie ? I do !
I do n’t intend we have ever had a Thanksgiving dinner without the dessert mesa lined with both autumn pumpkin and pecan pie . They are classical desserts that are must have on Thanksgiving day in our house .
As a child , I always choose to eat the pumpkin Proto-Indo European . Well sort of . I only ate the filling and would leave behind the crust to feed to the dog when no one was look .
And of class , the best part was that it was topped with a large serving of Cool Whip !
I actually never try out a bit of pecan pie until I was in my 20 ’s . And that was with a lot of convincing ( or possibly a friendly bet ) .
I was n’t a rooter of nuts being in my intellectual nourishment , and the pecan pie was filled with them . Little did I know that the filling was absolutely toothsome !
One chomp of my Grandmother ’s homemade pecan pie and I was hooked ! The nuts tang of the pecans is balanced by a sweet and gooey filling that almost taste like caramel .
Why did n’t I try this earlier ? ? ? ?
Making Homemade Pecan Pie
So several years later on , I was asked to work the desserts to a menage Thanksgiving celebration .
I knew that I would need to make both autumn pumpkin and pecan Proto-Indo European .
I had made homemade pumpkin pie before using a pie pumpkin vine for the puree . But I had never attempt a pecan pie .

I pulled out my Grandmother ’s recipe box and began to explore for the classic recipe that made me fall in sexual love with the pie .
After going through plausibly a hundred of index carte , I lastly establish the bill of fare .
It was fill up with her cursive written material that included the ingredient and instructions . But best of all , it was dotted with her special notes and food stigma from use over the geezerhood .
- Side note : I really missing handwritten recipe cards that bring back memories of the special the great unwashed in our lives .
I followed her instructions whole and the pecan pie came out just like a remember ! Absolutely divine !
There is one handwritten summit from Grandma that you do n’t want to skip . Be sure to put a sheet pan below your pecan Proto-Indo European as it bakes .
This will help catch any dripping that might bubble over when in the oven . This will lessen the risk of you filling the kitchen with smoke and makes neat up a breeze !
