Pecan Pie

Pecan Pie is a staple at my family holiday gatherings! This is an old family recipe and my paper copy has my Great-Grandma's name (Anna) on the top.  Pecan pie is one of my dad's favorites and this Thanksgiving I even had some help making the pecan pies.  Thanks Erik!   (Just realized I hadn't posted this...so I'm giving my readers a head start on Thanksgiving 2014!!)
