Apparently, My Pie Was A Hit!

Anonymous032819 — Tue, 08 Oct 2019 15:59:07 GMT

As you may know, last week I took to work a home made pecan pie to share.

Everyone who had a piece just raved about it!

I did have a tiny piece myself, and it was good.

Maybe I did inherite my mother's cooking skills after all!

And to think that I have never made it before.

I guess I'll have to add it to my repertoire!

I remember reading your previous post about how you weren’t sure it was done. I’m so glad it turned out for you. Pecan pie is one of my favorite pies but I only make it once a year.

Congratulations on your success!!! It is so nice to discover hidden talents. This might be a good time attempt a project you might have wanted to try, but were afraid of failure.😉

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

@dex

I just followed the recipe on the back of a bottle of Karo (dark) syrup.

How fun! I used to love to make things for others to enjoy and, honestly, I kind of miss it.

My only caveat would be that as soon as I heard somebody say PEE-can, it would be NO PIE FOR YOU!

Seriously, that and 'marscapone' make me crazy (ok, crazier). Every time I hear either of those two in a cooking competition I want to vote them off the island immediately.

Easy way I made up to remember mascarpone - there is no Mars and there is no Capone. K?

Mascarpone (pronounced mahs-car-POH-nay)

@Anonymous032819 Congratulations. That is my favorite pie.

I don't think it is difficult to make, but many people bake it too long and the pecans get too dark and taste "off" I have had very few homemade pecan pies that were baked to perfection.

Yours turned out great on your first try.. Yeah! That puts you in the expert category.

@Anonymous032819 Pies are my favorite and easiest dessert to make. During the fall and winter months, I make several a week. I mostly make apple or pumpkin, my DH's favorite, or cherry because I have a sour cherry tree and my freezer is full of them.

My very favorite is pecan and my DH won't eat it. He calls it roach pie. Says it looks like bugs on top. I occasionally will make it for a holiday dinner, and make mine in a little casserole dish without the crust ( celiac disease)

Now that you have posted, You made me hungry for pecan pie.
