Christmas is in the Air

We've been picking pecans and I've been baking!

I have a wonderful pecan pie recipe I got from a friend who is no longer with us. I did a little tweaking to Barbara's recipe. It it yummy!

1/2 c. melted butter or marg.
1 c. pecans chopped
1 c. light brown sugar
1/2 c. sugar or Splenda
1 heaping Tbsp flour
2 eggs
1/8 c. syrup (Log Cabin Sugar Free does well!)
1 tsp. vanilla
1 unbaked pie crust

Combine all ingredients well and pour into pie crust. Cover crust edge with foil to keep from burning. Bake for 35 minutes at 350. Decrease temp to 250, take foil of the edges and bake for 30 more minutes. YUM!

I've also been making Toast Rosemary Pecans

4 c. pecan halves
4 Tbsp. butter melted
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 teaspoon dried rosemary lightly crushed
1/2 teaspoon sugar or splenda

Preheat oven to 250. Bake for 15 minutes on a cookie sheet with edges. Stir them up and back for 15 minutes more. Transfer to papertowel and let cool. YUM!
