Serve Up a Slice of Southern Hospitality

Nothing says Southern hospitality like a delicious homemade pecan pie.  Whether you like yours made with a splash of Southern bourbon or topped with sweet whipped cream, a slice of crunchy and gooey pecan pie is a Southern favorite any time of the year, but especially around the holidays.
 
A staple of Southern kitchens, this nut packed dessert may look and  taste like someone spent all day in the kitchen  baking, but this super yummy and  easy to make dessert takes only one mixing bowl and seven ingredients! Finish your Holiday dinner on a sweet note with this Southern favorite!
 
The Perfect Southern Pecan Pie  
Ingredients  
•    1 9-inch deep-dish pie shell, unbaked
•    1 3/4 cups pecan halves
•    3/4 cup dark corn syrup
•    1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
•    4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
•    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•    3 large eggs
*Optional - 2 tablespoons good quality Southern bourbon (Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, etc.)
 
Directions
•    Preheat oven to 425ºF.
•    In a large bowl mix corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla and eggs with a wire whisk until blended.
•    Coarsely chop 1 cup pecans; reserving remaining pecan halves. Combine chopped nuts into mixture.
•    Pour filling into pie crust. Bake for 10 minutes at 425ºF.
•    Reduce oven temperature to 350ºF and continue to bake pie for an additional 40 minutes or until edges of filling are set. The center will still jiggle slightly and will firm up during cooling.

•    Cool completely on wire rack. Top with whipped cream before serving.

The house at Sea Pines was amazing! It shows better than the pictures make it out to be (which is usually the other way around). The open airy feeling of the kitchen, dining and living room really makes the home feel large and geared towards entertaining. The bedrooms are all very generous in size and each have their own bathrooms, which is perfect for kids or guests. The kitchen was well laid out and the eat-in island was where we spent most of our meals as it worked perfectly for 4 of us. It came well equipped with dish-ware and cookware but surprised by lack of spices, like pepper. The living room was perfectly laid out with lots of seating options to make evenings very relaxing and plenty of windows for bright and airy afternoons. We requested the pool to be heated prior to our arrival (at an additional cost) and it was the perfect temp for our 1st swim. The backyard flows really nicely and the seating by the pool is very relaxing. Jim and Margot included a bag of firewood for the outdoor firepit area which was great way to end the night. We also asked to have 4 bike rentals and Jim and Margot sourced the company (which was way cheaper than the touristy ones) and arranged to have them delivered to the house and they were waiting on the driveway, complete with baskets and locks, for when we arrived. The house has bike paths right outside the door so it's perfectly situated in Sea Pines with access to tons of trails and paths. Our trip was unfortunately cut short with the COVID-19 outbreak and we had to head back to Canada before airports and borders closed. Jim and Margot understood the severity of the situation and offered us a full credit for the unused portion of our stay which we will definitely be back to enjoy!
