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.
