Pecan Pie

The fall classic, made almost entirely from the place — silvopasture pecans, eggs from the hens, butter from the cow, and honey from the hives.

Ingredients

  • 1 single pie crust (home-milled flour, butter, salt)
  • 2 cups pecans, roughly chopped + a handful of halves
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup honey (or ¾ cup sorghum/cane syrup)
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla · pinch of salt

Off the shopping list: pecans, eggs, butter, honey, flour. Bought: sugar, vanilla, salt.

Method

  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line a pie pan with the crust and crimp the edge.
  2. Toast the pecans 6–8 min until fragrant; cool.
  3. Whisk eggs, honey, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  4. Stir in the chopped pecans; pour into the crust and arrange the halves on top.
  5. Bake 50–55 min until the center is just set with a slight jiggle.
  6. Cool completely (it sets as it cools). Serve with whipped cream off the top of the milk.
From the farm: the pecans come off the silvopasture trees from year 8–10 on; until then, this is the one fall pie worth buying nuts for. The eggs, butter, and honey are year-round staples.
