This was good, but way too sweet. The bourbon whipped cream was fantastic, though. The syrup/sugar/butter/vanilla combination will probably be really good to candy pecans with all on their own though! -
This was really good. The maple made a nice change from the corn syrup I usually use, really nice texture as well. The bourbon whipped cream was a revelation. Really made a nice complement to the pie. The only problem I had was with the directions for adding the egg to the syrup. It specifically calls for you to add it while the syrup is hot. I very slowly added a bit of egg and it immediately cooked. I then tried adding a little of the syrup to the egg and that worked a bit better but by the end I had to strain the syrup mixture for any partially cooked egg bits. The final result did not taste eggy in the least however and was a beautiful pie that was loved by all. Thanks!

I'm a grandmother who loves having the grandkids around. My son is currently living with me (on a short term basis) so I get to see and spend time with his kids more than I ever had, and that's a great thing.
I love trying new recipes and since I have found RecipeZaar, the new dishes have been streaming. Sometimes I think the kids would prefer a little break, but until they speak up, it's something new for them about everytime they visit with us.
I don't consider myself a 'cook,' I can only follow recipes. To me a cook is someone who can come up with their own recipes and have success at it (like my daughter).
