I thought the pie had wonderful flavor. As other mentioned, the pie was beautiful. I used a large Le Creuset over 10" dia pie plate. This was a mistake as the filling was spread too thin. If any changes I think I will chop pecans just a tad to make serving/eating a little more enjoyable for my preference. For others who are considering this recipe please do not skimp on ingredients. Use quality REAL ingredients. I would be will to bet the previous reviewers who were not satisfied 1 changed recipe cause "I’ve been cooking a long time and I know best" or 2 used subpar ingredients. This pie certainly does not fall into the worse pie ever category. Come on people. Keep pumping out fun, new, and interesting recipes Ina!

Picture perfect outcome, but the flavor of the orange zest was overpowering. Would make again, but with less zest.

I made this exactly per the recipe, and brought it to a party. Everyone loved it. The flavor was rich and well-balanced, and just a little sweet. The texture was perfect, and the filling around the nuts was moist and melted nicely on the tongue. The recipe yielded just enough filling and nuts (added whole pecans halves by weight to fill a 9-inch pie shell.
