Honey gives these pies a different yet delicious flavor. I sometimes add chocolate for a special twist.—Louise Covington, Bennettsville, South Carolina

Pecan Pie for a Crowd Recipe

Prep: 15 min. Bake: 40 min. + cooling

Yield: 64 Servings

15 40 55

Ingredients

12 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup dark brown sugar
5 cups sugar
2 cups dark corn syrup
1-1/3 cups honey
1 cup butter, melted
3 tablespoons vanilla extract
12 to 15 cups chopped pecans
8 unbaked pastry shells (9 inches)

Directions

In large bowls, combine the first seven ingredients. Add pecans. Pour 2-1/4 cups filling into each pastry shell.
Bake at 300° for 40-50 minutes or until set (cover edges with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary). Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 8 pies (8 servings each).

Editor's Note: To make chocolate pecan pies, melt 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips and add to the batter before adding pecans.
