PECAN PIE (NEW ORLEANS STYLE)
Attention Molasses Lovers!! This recipe comes from Justin Wilson's Homegrown Louisiana Cookin, and it is WONDERFUL! As you can see, this recipe has mixed reviews . . . seems you either love it or hate it! I've double checked the recipe and there are NO mistakes. If you are not a true molasses lover, than I suggest that you substitute all or part of the molasses with corn syrup.
