Yum
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I'll take the reviewers advice and cook longer. Also, I'll probably use the best whiskey, Jack Daniel's.

Delicious, but baking time needs adjustment
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This pie is drop dead delicious! Unfortunately, like many of the reviewers before me, after baking for 10 mins at 375 and a... lloonng 45 mins at 350 - I still had a soupy pie! After letting it cool to see if it would set (which it didn't), I ended up baking for an additional 15 mins on 350, and allowing the pie to cool in the oven after I turned it off. The result got rave reviews, but keep an eye on the cooking time. 4 stars.Read more

The baking time is DEAD WRONG
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Great pie, as long as you ignore the 10 min/ 25 min instructions and cook the pie for 10 min/ 45 min. (or even slighly... longer). At 25 minutes one gets soup, not pie. At 45-50 min. the pie is perfect and delicious.Read more

OMG - the best!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made many pecan pie recipes - this is by far the best! No too sweet as most pecan pies are. I did make in a deep... dish and baked a little longer (13 min). My husband wants this instead of any other pecan pie. Was wonderful am making again tomorrow. Enjoy - this is a save!Read more
