I'm 73yo in Murray, KY. I bake a lot. Going to my younger brother's in Glasgow for Thanksgiving. I asked what to bring and he requested pecan pie. I have pecan trees and it's been a bountiful mast year. So I will be taking "your" pecan pie using pecans I harvested from my trees. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for letting us be a part of your holiday this year. We hope you enjoy the pie - you sure won't get pecans any fresher than ones you harvested from your own tree! That's wonderful! Happy Thanksgiving!
I SO! envy you having your own trees. Enjoy your family Thanksgiving and pie.
@JudithBrummett : Story about the trees. My maternal uncle was an agent for Life of Georgia Insurance. He went to Atlanta every year for the Corporate Meeting. He always brought a sack of pecans back. Daddy started seedlings. He had two huge trees. He started more seedlings from his trees. He gifted me 2 of the seedlings ~20yag. They are now producing and the nuts are awesome when the gray squirrels don't get them. Daddy has been gone since 2018 but he is still with us in the trees. Thanks for the comment.
@@gerardjohnson2106 What a lovely story! we stay in AZ every winter in our RV but on the way we stop at Junction TX and pick up pecans (free!) in the city park. It
is so fun gathering them! I know there are ppl who will shell them in machines for a small price or percentage of nuts but I enjoy using my nutcracker and shelling them by hand. I have planted a fig tree that should start producing in the next cpl years so I am looking forward to that too. Have a blessed thanks giving.
I've never heard using cinnamon in pecan pie. I had cooked for 50years. HAPPY Thanksgiving.
Warm pecan pie with a glass of ice cold milk. Can't be beat!
That's a marvelous combination!
My favorite!
What memories that pie brings.
At Christmas time all of us kids would go to my moms for what we called Christmas Eve. My mom would always make my twin sister (RIP Sis. I miss you) a blueberry cheesecake and she would make me a pecan pie to take home as part of our Christmas presents. She would use chopped pecans because she didn't want the pie messed up just like you said. One of my brothers would always try to steal our pies but my mom would catch him every time and smack his butt with her "Mama knows best" yardstick. To get the best goodies Mama made you had to get in the front of the line or you would miss out on the pigs in a blanket (those were the hot ticket item at Christmas). When my sister got cancer mama made a family decision that Donna got to be at the front of the line. The look on her face and that big smile she had was worth all the gold in the world. She slow walked by everyone going to the front and she would smile this Cheshire Cat smile and her over exaggerated sway. Those were the days. We would tell everyone on their first Christmas at moms that we get a little crazy at Christmas lol... Great memories. Thank you.
I don't know what you taught as a teacher but, it should have been home economics. At least thats what we called it in my day (I'm telling my age lol). My grandchildren call it culinary arts.
I found my comfort channel ❤
I’ve made pecan pie with the dark corn syrup before and it does taste quite a bit different from the white syrup but I find it very difficult to acquire dark corn syrup here in Texas. You just about have to go and buy your dark corn syrup during the summer months and stash it back in your cabinet until the holidays because by the time October rolls around they don’t have enough of it on the shelf for people to buy. The dark corn syrup does give it a much richer flavor and I like both, the pecan pies made from the white corn syrup and the dark corn syrup, and I have also eaten pecan pie made from just white sugar, no syrup. And that’s good too. But I will tell you if you’re ever stuck with having to use the white corn syrup or just plain sugar, if you will add a fourth of a cup or even a half of a cup of molasses to the pie you will get a very similar flavor that the dark corn syrup gives. It’s very good. And actually when people use the brown sugar rather than all white sugar they are also getting more molasses because that’s what brown sugar is made of and of course the dark brown sugar has more molasses than the light brown sugar. Since it is so extremely difficult to find dark corn syrup in some areas of the United States, I really believe it would be beneficial if you could pass this information on to your audience. Hopefully together we will be able to help people in a predicament. I’m sure many many people would love to make the pecan pie that you’re making because it is much richer and much more flavorful than what they could make or pick up already made at the grocery store. That’s for sure. Thank you for sharing your recipe 😋!
I just put your pecan pie in the oven. Can’t wait. Thanks so much! I had to bake it for 60 minutes, The pie came out of the oven, cooled and my husband, my son and I ate half of it . It was so delicious.we finished it off the next day.
I enjoy watching y’all! I’m in Ormond Beach, but I’m originally from Georgia..so I laughed when you pronounced your pie..pecon. 😄. We pronounce it peCAN here in the south. 😉
Also..thank you for demonstrating how to do the pie crusts. I’ve always struggled with that, but now I know how to get it right. You certainly have taught me a lot about cooking.
I just ordered 2 lbs of Western Kentucky pecans. I just LOVE pecan pie!!!
Love pecan pie.
Love pecan pie, my favorite! This recipe looks so good. I will definitely make this recipe. I’m enjoying the recipes and your channel. Thanks. Kindness, Teresa
Thanks Tom and Melissa! 🥧 🍰 Thanks for the tip on that pie shield. Never heard of it. Always fought with aluminum foil around the edges. Blessings from Arizona 🌵
Hi Tom and Melissa!! Your pecan pie looks absolutely delicious!! Thanks for sharing your recipe! God bless! 💕🤗🙏🏻
My mom made the absolute best pie crust (and pies), so I never even considered a pre made pie crust. I sure will now! Looks wonderful!
I too use to make homemade pie crust until this brand premade pie crust. Very good, just hard to tell not homemade. You won’t be sorry. 🦃🍁Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃
You are fortunate to have good homemade pie crust. There is nothing better.
I haven’t made a pecan pie in years but after watching this video I am ready to make us one. It looks so yummy. Love them. Thanks again for sharing.
That pie looks so good. Thanks for sharing with us Tom and Melissa. You all have a blessed Thanks Giving . Fred.
Thank you, Fred. We love that you have joined us at the table.
Will be making a pecan pie for my grandson. He will be home for Thanksgiving from western University
My Mother always used both dark and light corn syrup it was like a happy medium in color. Love pecan pie. Thanks for the recipe ❤❤ Oh, very helpful about the pie crust too!
You are so welcome! We are so happy to have you watching our channel. Have a wonderful upcoming holiday season.
Great tip on breaking up the pecans! Thanks.🥧
Tom, that is one of the prettiest pie crusts I have ever seen. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your Family.
We love pecan pie(I think we love most pies) 🤭 Love watching your easy to follow demonstrations and recipes... always ready to learn .. ❣️Thank you both..from Paducah,Kentucky (school cafeteria worker for 19 years) retired ...have a lovely day
You are such a good cook and a really good teacher! 🍎 I always learn something new watching your videos even if you're making something I've made before. Always a pleasure. Hope you will be free of those allergy issues soon 🙏
This is a really good tutorial on this and also some great hints on that piecrust. I just bought six of them at the store to make pies. Happy Thanksgiving to y’all. I bet this is a great recipe he’s got!!!🦃👨🍳
Thank you! Happy baking! and Happy Thanksgiving, too!
The same to Ya’All! From Cindy in Cincinnati just east of town. Have awesome holiday! 🙋♀️🦃🥧🥧🥧👨🍳
Looks delicious! Have you ever tried the pecan pie with cook & serve vanilla pudding in it? Not as sweet as the traditional. 1- 3.5 oz vanilla pudding, not instant! 1 cup light corn syrup, 1 egg, 3/4 cup evaporated milk, 1 cup broken pecans or more, mix all together pour into pie crust deep dish 9 inch. Bake 375 - 35 to 40 min.
I am from Crossville, TN. I live in Kentucky now. Glad you like the rolling pin.
I just love watching you cook and bake Tom. I am watching you two over and over. I told my son about your dry brine for turkey and I think we're going to do that this year because he has a turkey frier and can't wait to use it.
I’ve never made one but I’m supposed to bring a pie for Christmas and this is it. Thank you for sharing. It looks great. Love 💕 and Hugs. ❤❤❤
You two are so cute! This is the first of your videos I’ve seen - you had me at “pecan pie”! I’m a native Californian but my husband is originally from Mississippi - one of 5 boys. They all have such wonderful memories of the big pecan tree in their yard back home, and Daddy shelling the nuts for hours so Mama would bake some pies. Pecan pie is still his absolute favorite, even at 70 years old. I made one for him many years ago, using his mom’s handwritten recipe, but something was “off”. I can’t wait to try your recipe and loved the step by step demonstration. I’ll make a couple of these for our family Christmas gathering here at our home…one for him and one for the four brothers! 😆. Thank you!
I have never made a homemade pie before but I’m definitely going to give this a try. You make it seem so easy with your instructions on making this. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us. You’re great at explaining everything.😊
y'all are the best! loving both of your straight forward spirits and Tom's thorough well explained instructions!🥧🥧🥧
Absolutely wonderful! I can't wait to bake it. Thanks once again. You are the best cooking channel on RUclips. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you for this video. I love pecan pie so much that I wish I was sitting at your table right now enjoying it with you!! Yum.
We'd love to have you! Thank you for watching our channel. Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi y’all I love pecan pie and will be making y’all’s pecan pie for the holidays ! Thanks for always adding the recipe and instructions with each video ! God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈
I just made your pie for our family dinner and it turned out beautifully ❤Thank you for sharing. I'm 64 and it's a great recipe.
Thanks for all of the pie crust tips. That pie looks delicious!
I'm going to try it on Thanksgiving, looks delicious
I just canned pecan pie filling yesterday, but used no eggs or Karo...used clear jel as thickening. If I can find a pressure canner at a reasonable price, I'll can some filling with all the frills. Always good to have things on hand to make a fast treat when needed. Thanks for sharing. When I get to can, I'll definitely use pieces instead of whole pecans 🥰
Pecan Pie Filling! What a wonderful staple to have in the pantry! Marvelous idea! Thanks so much for watching our channel. We appreciate it so much.
Love this looks so good! Great teachers of making recipes. Thanks for sharing. Hope all is well.
Hi, I really love all your videos. I'm not a big fan of pecans unless they are very finely chopped. 😊 That pie looks delicious. I have never used the box pie shell, however, I do use the frozen that is already in a pie tin. This Thanksgiving I'm going to try the box pie shell. I'll give it a try. Mr. Tom, I also purchased the pie crust cover I think they will work better instead of aluminum foil that I've been using for years. Melissa, you do a great job with the camera. 😊
I remember my first attempt at a pecan pie and this was before the internet. It didn't set very well, still good Like you said very little or no jiggle. As my taste refined, I use light syrup and add molasses for a medium dark color. Most store bought ones use light syrup and IMHO they are lacking but the dark syrup is a little much, I've found a middle ground. Great video will help many young cooks this Thanksgiving.
Pillsbury pie crusts taste better than even my Momma's did, and she was a wonderful baker!
Looks delicious!
I like the dark Karo, too. I have a friend who has a friendly ongoing “discussion” with her family about light or dark syrup in the pie. She satisfies both sides…they call it their Hatfields and McCoys rivalry…lol…by using half dark and half light syrup.
A little bit of the best of both worlds. Whatever it takes to keep the peace in the family! 😁
Thanks for sharing
Looks delicious.
Thank you for the great tip on the pie crust! I will add it to my recipe so l don’t forget it. I am creating a favorite recipes cookbook so l have them all in one place and l will donate my cookbooks. It’s part of my downsizing since l am 75 and don’t want to leave a lot of unnecessary things for family to go through and decide what to keep, donate, or toss.
One thing l always do when using pecans in a recipe is to toast them.
I spread them evenly on a rimmed baking sheet and bake at 350 until they begin to turn darker and become aromatic, making sure to toss halfway through, 7 to 10 minutes, remove from the oven and let cool. You just have to keep an eye on them because you can overcook them!
Great tip! Thanks for sharing it with us. We appreciate that you've reached out to us. We've been so blessed with wonderful connections to people through this channel. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I had been thinking about making a pecan pie for Thanksgiving, and I think that I will be using your recipe. I may use a technique that my mother taught me years ago to use 50% Karo Syrup and 50% Golden Sorghum Molasses. I live just across the Ohio River from Paducah, KY in Southern Illinois.
Those pecans look so tender and fresh yum! ❤️
Wow.that pie was gorgeous
Really enjoy watching you prepare food. Love how you explain things. Thanks so much.🙂
Your pecan pie and pumpkin pie will be on our Thanksgiving table! Thanks for your demonstration of rolling out and flouring the pie crust! Wishing you and Melinda a blessed Thanksgiving!
My absolute favorite dessert ever is pecan pie topped with chocolate ice cream or frozen chocolate yogurt.
I don’t care for pecans but this pie seems so easy… thank you
You seem like such a fun couple
Thank you so much. We appreciate your kind words and that you've joined us at the table.

This is a wonderful recipe. Perfect for Thanksgiving. I just love all of your recipes!😍 Tom you are such a gentlemen. You and Melissa are such a blessed couple. Yes if you publish a cookbook I will definitely purchase one and gifts for friends. I eagerly await for a new recipe. I am in Hawaii so some of the recipes are new to me but still dishes that I would prepare for my family. God Bless you both and Aloha from Hawaii 🌺🥰🌺
Love how you get every single drop out. This is how I was taught in my Homemaking class in the 60s.

Pecan pie looks absolutely delightful!
I love pecan pie!
Looks amazing and so much easier than I thought it would be. This will be my first year making a pecan pie, thank you for this post!
I made this yesterday for Thanksgiving. It was delicious!! There were a few more pecans than a traditional recipe, but my family was happy about that! If anyone is wondering about the added cinnamon, the taste was very subtle and reminded me of the cinnamon pecans that are sold around Christmas in the mall. Thank you so much for all of your videos. I’m a teacher and it’s been my morning routine for the last couple of weeks to watch your videos while I get ready for school. 😊
Oh my! This pie looks absolutely delicious! Thank you!
I love watching your videos, I work evenings and when I get back home, I watch one of your videos. I was wondering if you could make a cut out cookie recipe for the holidays? 🎄
That is one beautiful pie 🥧. Thanks so much for sharing ❤

I am definitely going to make this pie this season. Thank you for sharing your recipe and your ideas such as spraying your measuring cup with spray oil before measuring corn syrup and the detail of the cap of vanilla extract equivalent to a teaspoon. Thanks y'all and God Bless!
We hope you enjoy it. Thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Received your thank you reply today. Thanks and enjoy.
Thanks for your many great recipes! I love the Pillsbury pie crusts but have never rolled them out before placing in the plate. What a helpful idea! You guys are a great team!
So delicious,thank you, will try this recipe for sure

Thanks for the recipe and yes looks very good and very simple Blessings for your family
Go for it Melissa!!!😊
Thanks so much for your great recipe, I will following it on Thanksgiving day!
I love a good pecan pie. I first had it back in the 80’s when the Fuddruckers we had here had an in store bakery. It was my favourite there. The ones that come from the grocery stores are just OK. I think you’ve made me think I can do my own!
Love your video's
I always make my own dough. I have taught several people. I have never put flour on both sides before rolling it out. Maybe a sprinkle on the rolling pin. Too much flour makes it tough, I would imagine. I have never had that problem. I put ice in my water when bringing the ingredients to a ball. I believe it helps make the finished product flaky and light. I have never used bought pie crusts. I am glad to know they are good though.
Thank you so much and I appreciate the time y’all take to set everything up and prepare a Beautiful recipe especially it being Sweet ❤I hope y’all have a blessed Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁🍽 ❤❤❤
I have a recipe from a past governor of Oklahomas wife Shirley Bellmon .it was written up in magazines and pecan growers bulletins pretty much the same but she used Griffins made in Oklahoma ) syrup (pancake syrup) man it is awesome!
Thanks for your recipe. ❤
You are so welcome. We love that you've joined us at the table.
I just wanted to thank you for sharing your delicious recipes. I made the one with the cream cheese and pastry roll however I tweeted it just a bit. I added a can of apple pie mix , spreading the apples evenly over the cream cheese then the rest of the mix . It was simply DELICIOUS !!!
Hi guys!! Your pie looks absolutely perfect!! Mouth watering!! Thank you so much for sharing yet another great recipe!! God bless!!
Makes me miss my Mom's pies so much! Thanks for the reminder how yummy pecan pies are! Happy Thanksgiving to you both
Can't help but wonder what genius came up with pecan pie 🥧 I can imagine them in the kitchen at winter ❄️ cold outside and a fire roaring and came up with it.
Pecan pie. Mmmmm. It’s sort of like a Canadian butter tart with pecans instead of raisins or walnuts. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦. You still sound stuffed up. Hopefully you are well. 🤧😵💫🤧. Best way to keep the pie shell from shrinking is put it in the freezer before baking. It stays in shape. You also need to,Fock it to keep it from bubbling up. I also spray my measuring cups with cooking spray if I’m baking with corn syrup or molasses so it comes out without a lot of scraping.
