Thanksgiving dinner demands pumpkin pie, of course. Of course, unless you live Down South and then the tradition is pecan. Ah, people may shy from making a second pecan pie in their lifetime. That filling can prove to be runny, too sweet, or even tough. I have had pecan pies that made me think of 911. I have gagged and wondered how to politely scape the pie from my plate to the floor. So, in addition to our pumpkin pie, I want pecan this year. Perfect Pecan.
Is Ken Haedrich being bold by calling this The Perfect Pecan Pie? No. Ken has decades of pie making and pie cookingbook authoring under his belt. He's even the Dean of The Pie Academy, an online treat that you simply must visit: www.thepieacademy.com.
