I know...I know...nothing is up with the blog! Shame on me. A little motivation from Mom and here I go:
The Bacon Maple Bourbon Pecan Pie was a success! I made it on Thursday night in anticipation of my brother-in-law and his friend coming to visit. Personally, I could do without the bourbon but everyone else really enjoyed it. I posted the recipe previously but here are my tips now that I've made it. Use REAL maple syrup. I'm just assuming it would be less flavorful if you use table syrup-like product. I love the way pecan halves look when they float to the top of a pecan pie but have always felt them to be a bit of a pain to cut/eat. So I coarsely chopped half of the nuts to make it easier. Goodness knows I don't want anything to slow me and my pie eatin' down! I also chopped the bacon into small pieces before frying it to help with the crisping process and then made bacon bits out of them before I put it in the pie mixture. Lastly, I was too lazy to make a homemade crust so I bought the shortbread kind at the store. Good call. It was a delicious balance to the gooey pie.
As always - when you try this for yourself be sure to post a comment with results and reviews. I love to know how my recipes work for others!
