Whopee Do!!! It's wonderful!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I bought one of Paula's dark rum pecan pies at Walmart at Christmas and it was fantastic! I decided to see if I could find... her recipe. I made the pie today and since I only had Bailey's Irish Creme and no bourbon or rum, I used it as a substitute. Wow! It is the best tasting pecan pie I've ever had and I just hope I have some left for my husband when he gets home from work. It is sooo easy to make too! I also had to use light corn syrup since I didn't have dark, and I don't think it made any difference. But next time, I'll use the dark syrup and buy a little bottle of bourbon or rum to use. But don't hesitate to substitute if you don't have either one. I'm going to make this every day!!Read more

AWESOME & EASY!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Great recipe however had to cook longer to get filling to set. Took three attempts before shear perfection but testing it... was DELICIOUS!!! I recommend to all as it was very easy to put together and even faster to eat it up!!! This comes close to the Williams-Sonoma pecan pie in a jar! LOVE IT!!!Read more

The baking time for this recipe is way, way off
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Like many other commenters on here, I found the baking times listed on this recipe to be ridiculously off. I tried the 10... min./45 min. times suggested by many on here, and it seemed to be set. But when I let it cool and sliced into it I found that I had nothing but a soupy mess. I know that Food Network, Paula Deen, et. al don't really care if the recipes on this site are accurate, but the inaccuracies in this recipe are offensive.Read more

Yummy....
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for Thanksgiving and I think it's even better than my mom's (sorry mom). Love the bourbon buttery flavor to the... filling. Now if I could just learn to make my crust look as pretty as hers.....Read more

Best Bourbon Pie
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Loved it! The bourbon really enhances the buttery flavor of the pie and makes it not too sweet. The only thing I would... change for next time is to use 1-1/2 cups pecans. 2 cups was too much, and made it difficult to cut. I also like my pie a little gooier, so less nuts and more filling tastes better to me! Also, make sure to use good quality bourbon and just the recommended 2 Tbsp. Any more and all you taste is alcohol. Mine also needed to bake 1 hr, 45 mins., as some previous reviews stated.Read more
