This is another recipe that has taken years to perfect. My Mother made a great pecan pie but I decided to try to make it a little better. This one has bourbon in it. Just a tiny bit better.
The recipe I use makes two pies.......you could cut in half for one.......but if you are going through all the work why don't you make two.......you can always put one in the freezer for a cold winter night........
Make two crusts......you can make your own or buy the ones that you roll out and bake yourself. I have found them to be quite good.
Filling:
6 lrg eggs
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
1 1/3 cups light corn syrup
1/2 cup (one cube) melted butter
1/4 cup bourbon
1 tsp salt
4 cups pecan halves toasted and coarsely chopped
Whisk eggs in a large bowl and whisk in the two brown sugars, then everything else. Stir in pecans and pour evenly into your two pie crusts. Bake at 350 degrees about 55 minutes. The filling will puff and just be set in the center.
I'm sure your husband will love these pies!
