Blue Ribbon Recipe by

This was my first attempt at making a pecan pie. My intention was to take the stress off my mother-in-law during Thanksgiving and make all the desserts. I have always had pecan pie at Thanksgiving, but never made it. Let me tell you, this is the easiest recipe! Everyone loved my trial run, so now I have three more to make for Thanksgiving Day. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we have.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This mouth-watering easy pecan pie needs to be on your holiday menu. The filling is sweet and gooey with a caramel and nutty flavor. It's everything you expect from pecan pie. Top with a dollop of whipped cream for a fantastic slice of pie.
