Pecan Pie and Bourbon Whipped Cream
Pecan pie is a staple in the south. It’s an easy pie to make, so there’s no excuse not to serve it at your next get together or just as a yummy dessert. Pecan is pronounced peh’ cahn, by the way, not pee’ can.
I like my pecan pie straight up, but some people like it with bourbon whipped cream.

I’m using a couple of these recipes for Thanksgiving – yum!

Sheila, great. I love baking pies.
Catherine, thanks. I love baking and sharing recipes.
I love pecan pie. My very favorite, but think I will add your topping this year as it sounds really good!!!!
It makes a different flavor to the pie. Some people like chocolate or maple with pecan pie, but I like it straight.
