Pecan Pie

On Thanksgiving, my first pecan pie in quite some time was a mixed success. It tasted great, and looked fantastic until it was cut. It didn't set up in the very center very well, but it ate just fine.

I used the recipe from Fannie Farmer's cookbook. I also tasted a rival's pie later that day, made with the recipe on the back of a Steen's bottle, with some alterations. It produced a nice mellow sweetness and set up beautifully. I think Steen's Cane Syrup is only available down south, though. Regional products!

I'd put the recipe on here, but most of you have your own. I will mention that I whipped the cream with white sugar, a touch of vanilla, and JACK DANIELS. I will make this a regular practice.
