Maple Pecan Pie with Bourbon & Bacon
I meant to post this recipe a long time ago, but never did. I found out today that it is National Pie Day, so it would make a perfect choice to post a pie recipe today.
This recipe includes some favorite ingredients. First being Maple Syrup. I use a grade ‘B’ syrup because I think it has so much more maple flavor than a grade ‘A’ syrup. Second, Bourbon. Use your favorite brand here, I am not a connoisseur of the ‘aperitif’ so I cannot make a recommendation, I just like the flavor. Then third, bacon. Most everyone’s favorite food, once again use your favorite brand or buy locally from your favorite meat market. Enjoy!!!
