Homemade Pecan Pie

What do do with all of the pecans in my yard. Hmmmm. Why not make a pie?

I had the kids gather pecans, which hadn't been done in some years judging by how old some of the pecans were when I shelled them. And they were pretty dry. But, nuking them in water for 5 minutes helped to make shelling them easier. Karo syrup does wonders for perking up dryish pecans.

The pie came out nicely. And it was bad for my diet (which I am back on), but not so bad as to be catastrophic.

yummy... I just like the pecan's and the brown sugar. I pick the topping off and do not eat the rest of the pie...
