During this holiday season it’s good to have a go to recipe that is easily put together and yet makes an impact. Whether you are two for dessert or more, a pecan pie is always delicious!
Pecans were cultivated along the southern Mississippi border and are famously referred to as New Orleans pecan. The term for the nut is derived from the French word, “pecane” given by the French who settled in Louisiana.
