Jack is Cooking Pecan Pie

Well Hello Internet!

Since tomorrow is thanksgiving, tonight i am making pecan pie!  A whole lot of pecan pies!

these ingredients are enough for 3 pies

9 eggs

2 1/4 cup of sugar

2 cups of agave nectar

3 teaspoons of vanilla

3 pinches of salt

4 cups of chopped pecans

1 cup of whole pecans

3 pie crusts (i used gluten free pie crusts)

ok so i mixed everything except the pecans together in a big bowl:

this is what it looked like when everything was mixed.  make sure all the sugar and eggs are mixed in!

then i added the chopped pecans, and really mixed those in too.

you gotta keep mixing!  it will separate!

anyways,

while i was mixing i put the pie crusts in the oven for 5 minutes to precook them.

when i took them out i poured the filling in and then made some patterns with the whole pecans:

i baked it for 45 minutes at 350°

it may take a little longer, or a little less based on your oven, but if you poke it with a fork, it should be pillowy, but firm.  imagine an omelette filled with sugar and pecans!  :-D

But wait!  Didn't I say that I was making three pies?

I decided to get a little creative and I made two more pies with the remaining pie mixture, combining it with pumpkin pie!

I used just a canned pumpkin pie mix and folledthe directions on the can. Luckily both pies cook the same amount of time!

The first pie, I made a ying yang.  I used parchment paper to create the division while pouring.








I call it the milky way pumpkin-pecan pie!
Here's both:

Oh man 4 pies!  I think well have to eat one tonight... They are irresistable!


happy thanksgiving!

mmm mmmm delicious!
