Cooking Tip

Pecan Placement

Instead of including the pecans in the mixture, lay whole or half pecans on top. Work around the pie in circles, starting at the outside edge. The result is a much more impressive looking pie.

Cooking Tip

Unbaked Pie Shells

For best results bake pecan pies in glass pie dishes, so the crusts will brown. Avoid disposable or shiny metal pie pans for this recipe.
