Kentucky Burbon Chocolate Pecan Pie

[washerboy]

Since it's the holiday's I thought I'd share my favoriate pecan pie recipe. Does anyone have holiday favoriates they'd like to share?

KENTUCKY BURBON CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE

1 stick butter
3/4 dark or light corn syrup
1 cup sugar

1 1/2 cups semi sweet chocolates
4 eggs
1 tsp van.
1tsp salt
1 cup pecans (broken or whole)
1/4 cup burbon (more if you want)
1 9inc pie crust

Preheat oven 325
heat first three ing. in sauce pan over low heat; heat and stir until sugar and butter are melted; set aside. Beat eggs, salt and van.; slowly pour in melted sugar and butter. Stir in chocolates and pecans. Bake for 50-55 minutes. Best if serviced warmed (zap in microwave before serving) or chilled. Small scoop of ice cream or whipped cream really sets it off.

This is a very rich pie..small serving goes a long way. I served it at a dinner party over the weekend. I had six for dinner and there was still (depending on the size) one or two slices left over.

Pecan Pie

1/2 cup butter
1 cup Brown Sugar
1 cup white Karo
3 eggs
2 TBS flour
1 Tsp vanilla
2 cups pecane

In a heavy sauce pan over medium heat cook the butter until it lightly browns. Add the pecans and continue to cook over medium heat until pecans become crisp. Be VERY careful not to cook over a hot burner or too long as the butter will burn.

In a mixing bowl combine the sugar, Karo, eggs, flour and vanilla. Mix well. Stir in the butter and nuts. Pour into a homemade 9 inch pie shell and bake at 375 degrees for 50 minutes or until set.

Pie Crust

1 cup unbleached flour
1/2 cup Crisco
1/4 cup water
1 tsp salt
Crumble the flour, Crisco and salt and add water all at once. Toss to combine. Use ample flour when rolling to prevent sticking. I do this in the mixer. Don't over mix. You should see little bumps of Crisco in the dough.

Browning the butter jazzez the flavor and browning the pecans pronounced their flavor and keeps them crisp, not rubbery in the finished pie. The touch of flour prevents weeping and curdling if over baked. The white Karo combo with the brown sugar gives the pie a cleaner finish and it not as cloyingly sweet as some pecan pies.

Very smart, Kelly

There's nothing more ethereal than browned butter and perfectly toasted pecans. But I would have never thought of doing that.

Both pies sound wonderful!

(Whilst clutching pearls, propping one's self against the nearest wall, with eyes rolled towards the ceiling)----a TRUE Southern Pecan pie is ALWAYS made with Sugar Cane Syrup!

AND like so many other old Southern recepies, one always starts with a roux---------

Washerboy,
That definitely sounds good, I'm going to try it.
Do you think rum would be a good substitute for the burbon?
Hmmmm, I'll have to fix it both ways.

Yankee Pot Roast(we're cheap up here)!

1.Buy A bigass cheap chuck steak, about 3 inches thick, by 8-10 inches long. 2.) Buy a Lipton's onion soup mix. 3.)Buy a bag of baby carrots. 4.)Buy a whole onion and slice in eighths, then 16ths, like an apple. Rub the meat with about two tablespoons of olive oil.(easy enough for some of us, just to spare the conversation) Place the meat on a piece of foil with enough foil to cover the meat and veggies. Rub the Liptons Onion Soup over the meat and then add the baby carrots and onion slices on top and cover. Actually wrap, with the remaining foil. Put the foil wrapped beauty in a roasting or even a long ass cake pan. 5) Cook for 2 hours at 275 completely covered in foil, in an oven.(My sister in Oregon puts it atop her wood stove to cook for 4 hours, but she is a wasted Oregon Coastie) It is done when it completely falls apart with a fork 6) Serve with smashed garlic potatoes(do you need the formula?) and the gravy of your choice. Leftovers make an amazing shredded beef and horseradish cheese sub the next day. (There will be no leftovers, trust me) This was a ski weekend hit that made me as famous for this as my Whiteface Mountain pasta/tomato/chicken/ garlic salad did at the time. I feel sorry for vegetarians, butI suppose they will get passionate about something soon once they taste meat again.
