NEW ORLEANS PECAN PIE
Although this pie is named for New Orleans, our town is the world's "pecan capital", so it fits us, too! My mama gave me this recipe, and it's my favorite.

CREAMY PECAN PRALINES
Steps:
- Mix light brown sugar, granulated sugar, heavy cream, butter, water and salt in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until sugar dissolves. Stir in pecans and cook over medium heat until mixture reaches the soft ball stage, 238 to 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer. If you spoon a drop of boiling syrup into a cup of ice water, it will form a soft ball that flattens easily between your fingers.
- Remove pan from heat and stir rapidly until mixture thickens. Drop pralines by the spoonfuls, 1-inch apart onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Let cool completely until firm. Store in an airtight container.
AFTER-HOURS SOUTHERN PECAN PRALINE PIE
Chopping the pecans with a knife will produce a fine dust that can cloud the resulting pie, instead, use a rolling pin to gently break the pecans into small, 1/2-inch pieces. Be sure to remove the pie from the oven when the center is set but still wobbly; residual heat will finish the job. The extra bourbon in this pie will please the adults at the table!!

Steps:
- FOR THE DOUGH: Pulse flour, brown sugar and salt in food processor until blended. Add butter and pulse until flour is pale yellow and resembles coarse cornmeal, ten to fifteen 1-second pulses. (To do this by hand, grate frozen butter in large holes of box grater, then rub flour-coated pieces between your fingers until the flour turn pale yellow and coarse) Turn mixture inot a medium bowl.
- Using rubber spatula, fold 3 tablespoons water into flour mixture, then press against side of bowl, if mixture doesn't hold together, add one more tablespoons water. Squeeze dough together and flatten tnto a disk. Dust with flour, wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or up to 2 days before rolling.
- Remove dough from refrigerator and let stand untl dough is malleable enough to roll out, but still cool, 10 -20 minutes. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat to 375°F Roll dough on lightly floured surface into 12-inch circle. Roll dough over pin and unroll it even into a 9-inch glass pie plate. Fit dough into pie plate and flute edges. Refrigerate for 40 minutes, then freeze for 20 minutes.
- Line pie shell with two 12-inch pieces aluminum foil, fitting foil so that it hangs over edges of crust. Distribute 2 cups pie weights over foil, then bake until dough under foil dries out, 20-25 minutes. Carefully remove foil and weights, then continue to bake until crust is firmly set and lightly browned, 10-15 minutes. Remove pie shell from oven and set aside.
- (Shell can be cooled, wrapped tightly in plastic, and stored at room temperature for 1 day).
- FOR THE FILLING: Lower oven temperature to 275°F Place pie shell in oven if not still warm.
- Cook butter, brown sugar and salt together in medum saucepan over medium heat until sugar is melted and butter is absorbed, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat a d whisk in eggs, one at a time; whisk in corn syrup, vanilla and 2 tablespoons bourbon. Rerturn pan to medium heat and stir constantly until mixture is glossy and warm to touch, about 4 minutes. (Do not overheat; remove pan from heat if mixture starts to steam or bubble. Temperature should be about 130F) Remove pan from heat and stir in pecans and remaining bourbon.
- Pour mixture into warm shell and bake until center feels set yet soft, like gelatin, when pressed gently, 45-60 minutes. Cool pie completely on rack, at least 4 hours. (Pie can be refrigerated for up to 1 day) Serve pie at room temperature or warm it briefly in oven, topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

PECAN PRALINES, NEW ORLEANS SCHOOL OF COOKING
I bought pralines from New Orleans School of Cooking when my mother and sister and I visited there in 2012, and they were the BEST we tried - and we tried a lot!! When I came home I looked on line for the recipe, and found a video demo of the class on making pralines. I watched the video over and over until I got all the ingredients and instructions written down, which I submit here. Other recipes on this site recommend bourbon as flavoring, which I think sounds fab, so I noted it. I also added a dash of salt, as I always add a little salt to candy and frostings. I have not made these yet, but I'm posting it for safe-keeping.

Steps:
- NOTE: To roast pecans, bake them on a sheet pan at 275 for 20-25 minutes, until slightly browned and fragrant.
- Combine all ingredients and bring to a softball stage (238-240 degrees), stirring constantly. Soft ball stage is also achieved when you place a spoonful of sugar mixture into a glass of water and it sticks to the side.
- Remove from heat.
- Beat with a wooden spoon until mixture thickens, becomes creamy and cloudy, and pecans stay suspended in mixture.
- Spoon out on buttered aluminum foil or parchment paper.

PRALINE PECAN PIE A LA VIRGINIA HOSPITALITY
This is a tasty pecan chess pie, but its custard is the color and taste of pralines, and it is a little less intense than Dark Pecan Pie - Virginia Hostess Style (although DH prefers the "dark" version). This recipe came from Virginia Hospitality by the Junior League of Hampton Roads. It took my pie 60 minutes in the oven. Be sure to put pie pan on pizza pan to catch any spillage. I added the perfect pecan halves just before baking; they improve the look of the pie for entertaining. I learned through ZWT5 that the French created the PECAN PIE after settling in New Orleans and being introduced to the pecan by the Natives, so it is considered a Creole dish.

PECAN PIE (NEW ORLEANS STYLE)
Attention Molasses Lovers!! This recipe comes from Justin Wilson's Homegrown Louisiana Cookin, and it is WONDERFUL! As you can see, this recipe has mixed reviews . . . seems you either love it or hate it! I've double checked the recipe and there are NO mistakes. If you are not a true molasses lover, than I suggest that you substitute all or part of the molasses with corn syrup.
