Southern Pecan Pie

This recipe has been in my family for at least 3 generations, I'm not sure how many more.  It's also one of our favorites to serve and enjoy with family and friends.

I'm grateful to be able to share with my family and friends and fellowship over great food.  Also to be able to have the chance to learn from my family not only the history of our family but also the recipes and learn the stories behind them.

*I confess that I don't have a photo of my Pecan Pie because by the time I think about it, it's gone!
