Wow...great recipe. A little bit of a variation from the one I usually bake. Can't wait to make this one TODAY!

I know how good this pie is - I've made Donna John's grandma's recipe for Thanksgiving before and it was a true crowd pleaser! Judy Thow, please post a photo if you make this, and share your feedback! #yum

Success......I really should add the picture of my husband and I savoring every bite. THANKS. This one is better than the one I always make. My recipe uses Corn Syrup and is really too sweet.
Elisa Schmitz
Wow, beautiful! A perfect pecan pie, Judy Thow! Enjoy every bite. Great to know you enjoyed it as much as we did! Donna John - your grandma would be proud!! xoxo

Pecan is my favorite pie. Nice to see one of your followers tosses her recipe for yours. This will now be made in my kitchen! How fun!
Elisa Schmitz
Yes, Janie - that's pretty darn cool! Way to go, Donna John! :-)
Donna John
Your pie is beautiful, Judy Thow ! Mine never looks that nice! So glad you enjoyed it. My grandma is no longer with us, but her recipes keep her alive. Food is so awesome that way! I'm going to make your applesauce this week for my grandson. :-)

I know what you mean Donna. When I am going through my recipes and find those that were given to me by the special women in my life, I just love to see their hand writing. Somehow that makes them feel close again.

A piece of this pie puts me right back in my grandma's kitchen. Love how food can do that. So happy to pass on our tradition to a dear friend. Elisa All Schmitz 30Seconds

Can this be done with deep dish pie crust? If so how much longer to bake?
Donna John
You could definitely do that!
Lita Morton
How long does this take to set?
Donna John
I'm not sure what you mean. It bakes, then I guess "sets" as it cools. Let us know how it turns out for you. My grandma's pie is really the best!

Thanks For Sharing....

Will this freeze good?
Donna John
I have never frozen one, but I know my grandma did. So yes!
