Really enjoyed making this pie. 2nd time I've made it this Thanksgiving. It isn't as sweet and sticky as a store bought pie. It's almost a cake like texture with pecans. Mine turned out very pretty! I'll see if I can post a picture.

Amazing and simple recipe! No strange flavor from the Karo that people are stuck on using either

This is a delicious pie. I couldn't stop at one slice. The filling is rich and sweet and tasted a bit like butterscotch. I actually used demerara sugar because I ran out of brown sugar and I wondered if that altered the taste of filling. Like other reviewers found, it was a lot of filling and I ended up making a little pie as well. I found the filling wasn't really set. Never ate or made pecan pie, so not sure if that's normal. Set or not, it is a delicious pie and I will definitely make it again. Thank you for sharing the recipe.

I love this recipe! For the holidays my family always puts in a request for it. I don't change a thing, but I do make it with the 2 regular 9 inch pie crusts. Delicious!

I can't believe I forgot to rate this. This recipe was sooooo good! It was Christmas dinner and dear me, I had no corn syrup in hand...no stores open either! So, with much lookin I finally found a pecan pie recipe that didn't incorporate corn syrup! This was a winner! Absolutely yummy! Only thing I substituted was butter for the margarine it called for. Other than that, I stuck to the recipe with verrry yummy results! Thanks Deanne!

To be honest I've never made a pecan pie before but was startled at many other recipes which called for corn syrup as a main ingredient. I picked this recipe because of its use of evaporated milk instead. It was a very good pie, a little sweet for my tastes, but I was happy with it nonetheless. My father (for whom I made the pie) said the taste was good but the consistency was not what he expected out of a pecan pie. He said it was too airy and custard-like. Again, I'm not a big pecan pie eater so I don't know, but I enjoyed it and would make it again.

I was excited about trying a new pecan pie for my brother who loves them, i was making one especially for him on Thanksgiving...I followed this recipe exactly and it just didnt come out right at all...The taste was okay, but it was very mushy and it could not be cut into slices at all...I'm not sure if i did something wrong. Thankfully, my brother said dont worry, it will get eaten, but dont ever try a new recipe again if your old one is fine :( I think I'll try this again just for own sanity!!!

Very good take on a Pecan Pie. I'll make this one every holiday season. Difference in timing, mine took more than 40 minutes to set, even may have overcooked it a little, but regardless, scrumptious.
