    A holiday hit while celebrating with English who have no such thing in their 'pudding' repertoire. We were liberal with the bourbon, used a good bitter-sweet chocolate and lightly toasted the pecans in a pan before adding. Coupled with Ina Garten's fool proof pie crust and cinnamon spiked whip cream -- fantastic.

    Made this for my husband's pot luck at work. Divided sugar with white & brown. Divided corn syrup with white & brown. Added teaspoon of vanilla & three beans. Used chopped pecans instead of whole.

    I made this for Thanksgiving and it was great! I did leave out the bourbon.

    To keep the pie from being runny, beat the eggs separately before adding to the other ingredients, then be sure to mix together well. If not mixed well, the pie may stay runny.

    Also, if you're worried about the chopped chocolate not melting during baking, melt it in the microwave before adding to other ingredients.
