Note: the crystallization of the sugar does something positively weird when making this pie, but rest assured, the flavor remains unweirded throughout the process.
If you’ve got a cravin’ to stuff some nuts in your mouth, please do try the pecan kind, preferably packed in this pie we made. It’s delish!
When deciding on what nut to crack next for the second co-op project between strawberry Sarah and apricot Anna,our willing test subject did not so much ponder this question as blurt out his answer before we had finished posing it. He seemed determined. He would have pie, he would have pecans and no natural forces would seperate the two before ending up in his mouth. So it was unavoidable that we would have to cast them in maple syrup. Pie and pecan made one.
Please try this recipe for yourself and see if it is indeed deserving of Franks fervor.
