      My husband absolutely loves pecan pie! I found a recipe that was long and complicated, but since I love my husband I thought I would put in the effort.

      Um, your recipe is short, sweet and looks delicious – stealing it!

      First of all, CONGRATS on a beautiful baby!!!!! He is very precious. Heal well and enjoy your time with him while he’s still snuggly. I was wondering if you can substitute Molasses for the Maple Syrup? It’s pretty hard to get good maple syrup and what I can get is VERY expensive in little jars for about $7.00. Would Molasses work? I’ve heard of using Corn syrup too. I will be trying this out! Thanks

      I love the fact that this recipe doesn’t use corn syrup! Corn syrup is one reason I’ve never made pecan pie. Now you are causing me to reconsider…. =)

    I have a little problem. I cannot make a meal that costs more than $5. It’s unnatural, but my pocketbook thanks me.
