Help Please! Pecan Pie

[SarahFair]

I wont be able to pick up Kayro today so Im going to try this one. Ive been reading reviews and am going to make a few changes

I think it needs a real crust, I wouldnt think a pecan pie in a graham cracker crust would be "quite right".

I completely agree with you all one the graham cracker crust.. needs a real one and cover the edges with foil so they won't darken to much.

 

[SarahFair]

I did your standard shortening crust and covered the edges..


Im putting it in for 15 mins at 350 then 50 mins at 300
Think that will work?

I think that 300 is way too low. You need to set it at at least 350. Is there a reason you're deviating from the recipe?

 

[SarahFair]

A couple people in the reviews who say they used the recipe to sell to customers and said they cook it cooler longer to avoid burning the pecans.
I had a problem with burning mine last time..

I think Im going to do it for 60 minutes.

I'm not really sure what tips to give you, I find pecan to be one of the only pies I can't mess up! I used a recipe from Paula Dean and never had any issues... I wish you the best, pecan is the best pie next to peach!!!

Well Im eating it now and it the center is a little mushy.
I dont know what Pecan Pie is suppose to taste like so Ill have to ask the SO when he gets home..

A southern pecan pie is an art form in itself.

That is so true, if you were to eat the pecan pie around where I live you would retch. I had one when I was south once and it was pure heaven I could not stop eating it.

Miss Prissy if I was to try this is there an organic version to the Karo syrup? I think I have organic corn syrup in the house are they comparable? or do you think I should just deal with that one ingrediant not being organic to preserve the taste. (besides there is a good chance my ds wont like it anyway because of the nuts, in which case being organic is not as important.

Thanks.
