As if pecan pie wasn't decadent enough, this recipe adds in chocolate and bourbon to the mix. The pie is very rich so make sure to cut the slices thin.
1 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup butter or margarine
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup bourbon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup pecan pieces
1 unbaked deep-dish pastry shell (9-inch size)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Combine the sugar, corn syrup, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the butter melts and the sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, bourbon, vanilla, and salt and beat together. Slowly add the cooled sugar mixture while beating with a wire whisk until all is combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips and pecans. Pour the mixture into the pastry shell.
Bake at 325 degrees F for 50 to 55 minutes or until it is set.
Serve the pie warm or cold with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
