MOM'S SOUTHERN PECAN PIE

My Mother first made this pie in 1949. The recipe was on a can of pecans. (I wasn't born then, but evidently pecans used to be sold in cans.) She kept the can in the kitchen cabinet. For some reason she never wrote it down. It's been a family favorite for 4 generations.

My mom had made this delicious pecan pie since I was a little girl. This recipe is posted in "The Cotton Country" cookbook by Mrs. Russel Bulloch. As odd that it is, I ended up working for her husband, the great Dr. Russell Bulloch, at Pediatric Associates. Hope you enjoy this great recipe as I have.

  • Toast the pecans before using them. This will enhance their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • Use a combination of light and dark corn syrup. This will give your pie the perfect balance of sweetness and flavor.
  • Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing will make the filling tough.
  • Bake the pie until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center of the pie should come out clean.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.
