Equipment

  • Pie plate
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup salted butter melted
  • 3 eggs beaten
  • 4 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 cup pecans chopped
  • 1 pie crust unbaked, see note
  • whipped cream optional, for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Place chopped pecans into the prepared pie crust.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, place sugar, brown sugar, salt, corn syrup, honey, melted butter, eggs, and bourbon. Stir well until all are combined well.
  • Pour honey bourbon mixture over pecans in pie plate.
  • Bake at 350 for 1 hour to 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes. When pie is done, the pecans will become slightly browned on top. Note: cover the pie crust with foil when it begins to turn golden brown.

Notes

Note on pie crust: One of my biggest inner conflicts in cooking is Pie Crust. I am a foodie purist and I love making food from scratch. But pie crust has been a challenge for me. We have found a recipe that we love, and it is loaded with real butter and lard!
So, even though I continue to try to make real pie dough at least once a year, I have found the store-bought rolled out pie crust to be a pretty darn good substitute and certainly is much easier and less likely to mess up the pie. Plus it’s a lot faster, and you can make a yummy pie in less than twenty minutes!
The rolled out pie crust usually comes in a box of two in the refrigerated section of the grocery store,  near the refrigerated biscuit dough in the pop-open cans.

Creamy Ginger Butternut Squash Soup in the Instant Pot

This is such a yummy comfort food, perfect for the fall season.  The combination of apples and squash, ginger and cream, makes a delicious blend of sweet and tart, warm spice and cool cream. You just have to try it!

Now, there are lots of ways to prepare your ingredients, but for me, when I see a recipe call for sliced, peeled butternut squash, it literally makes me cringe. That chore is one of my kitchen nightmares! Cutting up a butternut squash is hard!

So I don’t do it. Let me show you an easier way to “skin that cat” with an Instant Pot!

This is an involved recipe, so it’s lots of fun if the family joins in. Children can do lots of things to help in this recipe! …
