The Pecan Pie Recipe You've Been Waiting For

I consider myself a true Mainer. Not only was I born and raised here, but I come from a long line of Mainers. On my dad’s side, we’ve been here since the 1700s, at least. However, I can’t escape the fact that I have Southern blood from my Georgian mother. One of the benefits to having both cultures in my heritage is the plethora of food choices I’m used too. For example, I grew up eating true southern pecan pie.

April is National Pecan Month. Even though this designation confuses me (pecans have Fall harvest, not a Spring one), my Southern blood can’t help but take advantage of the chance to pull out my great-grandmother’s pecan pie recipe.
