Happy Thanksgiving!!

1.) Make pie crust with lard and extra sugar. If you’re really serious, use cold rendered bacon grease. The saltiness of the bacon grease with the sweetness of the sugar is amazing.

2.) Follow the pecan pie recipe on the Karo Syrup bottle. It’s definitive. I use half light and half dark Karo syrup, but either full light or full dark works perfectly well. Make sure your melted butter isn’t boiling hot – it will scramble the eggs! (I made that mistake exactly once.) Yes, corn syrup is unhealthy, but I use it once per year for this pie. “Anything in moderation… including moderation!” 😅

3.) ***Add a shot of amaretto liqueur, like Disaronno*** This is what will have people asking why the pie is so good. The almond scent is heavenly.
