Yum! This recipe is one that I got from my dad’s collection. He generally makes it every year for either (or both) Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is a delicious pie..
Ingredients:
3 eggs
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup of pure maple syrup
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup pecans
1 ½ tablespoon corn starch
2 tablespoons whiskey (we use Jack Daniels)
About 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips (or enough to cover the bottom of a pie shell)
3 eggs
¾ cup brown sugar, packed

3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup pecans
