Bourbon Pecan Pie

“Bourbon Pecan Pie“, ’nuff said! It seems pecans are a favorite holiday nut. I know around The Orange Bee we like them in many ways, spiced, sugared, toasted, in cookies, cakes, breads and especially in this pie. My man Dan wouldn’t consider it a holiday without a Bourbon Pecan Pie.

It’s the subtle whiff and smack of bourbon that sets this pie apart. If you are the baker of this pie do not fail to take at least one good swig of bourbon as you make the pie!

At The Kentucky Bourbon Trail you can find out all about Bourbon and it’s roots. I’m thinking of taking a tour through the winding country roads and rolling green hills to explore bourbon makers such as Woodford Reserve (my man Dan’s favorite), Makers Mark, Jim Beam and why not check out Wild Turkey! Here is a bit of trivia with reference to bourbon and its history.

This pie is rich and addicting….beware and…Enjoy!

  Let me know if you do and if you like it. One of these always disappears very quickly around here.

  Thank you Karen, I never feel like my crusts look as perfect as I’d like. The pie however is yummy! Are pecan pies popular in your neck of the woods?

    I think your crust looks great. Pecan pie isn’t that popular in New England but I grew up on a ranch in Texas where we had a large pecan grove. I think pecan pie is the most popular pie in Texas. Yours really looks terrific.

      I’ve got 3 pecan trees but none of them are mature enough to give me enough nuts to bake a pie with. I hope one day they will! New Englanders don’t know what they are missing!

Your beautiful pie is picture perfect! I haven’t made a pecan pie in years and it would be a lovely change for Christmas dinner. I might be tempted to put a little whipped cream on top…sinful.

  Sinful for sure but Oh So yummy! Pecan pie is kind of a staple around here for the holidays! Thanks for stopping by – I think you should try one for Christmas this year. You never know you just might start a new tradition!

Linda, Making this today from pecans from our own farm on the Keechi Creek. Skip has taken his 91 year old mom to pick them, she has shelled them, and now I’m baking them! She is making the pie crusts too! She is way too good at it for me to even think of trying to do better. But, I will make the filling and we are all going to enjoy it I’m sure! I’ll let you know. Hope you all have a sunny Christmas and enjoy your time together.
