Pecan pie recipe

While pumpkin pie is the standard Thanksgiving dessert, pecan pie is no stranger to the feast. In fact, some people prefer this crunchy indulgence over the creamy pumpkin variety. To be sure that all of your guests leave the Thanksgiving meal satisfied, it is wise to include both pie options.

Anyone who has ever made pecan pie knows that one of the main ingredients is corn syrup. Pouring that gooey syrup into a bowl can ruin some of the fun of eating it later on. This pecan pie recipe is adapted from AllRecipes.com and doesn't include any corn syrup, so if you are trying to avoid the sticky stuff and still want a pecan pie, this version may be worth a try.
