Alright just popped that one in the oven. Hope it's just as good tomorrow for thanksgiving
All my life I've been taught that those wonderful nuts are pecans, pronounced pe-cauns. And pee-cans are what they use at night when you live up in the hills and don't have indoor plumbing. (also known as "slop jars") !! 🙂
Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Nice video
Why do some recipes call for a "blind baked" pie shell and yours did not? Thanks
Used this recipe two years in a row also this year used your pumpkin recipe each time delicious 😋
If you say Pee Can, it is not authentic.
