Almost no one will try this, but it is a very good recipe.

I think I've "perfected" my standard pecan pie recipe (basic Karo syrup recipe with a couple of additions like extra vanilla and pecans & a bit of bourbon), but I'm truly intrigued by this recipe. I may have to find some plum jelly to try it out this week. Thanks for sharing!

Made one of these today for the family. Needless to say, there were no leftovers and I will be making another one tomorrow.

Thanks MD! I've been trying to make pecan pie with less sugar and without Karo because I never use it for anything else and don't keep it on hand. I had good results with agave nectar and molasses, but I didn't write down the recipe.

I like the plum jelly idea, but I might try applesauce instead.
As for homemade crust, I've only made 5 good ones in 25 years following the pie and pastry bible instructions to the letter, so I buy the pillsbury rolls. Pie crust is pie crust, unless it's made with lard.

recipe says 1/4 stick of butter, but picture is 1/4 cup

I'm gonna go with the picture

I guess I used a little too much butter then

I think the temp is off on my lower oven. I went 45 minutes at 325 and it wasn't set, nor even browning much. I moved it to the upper oven at 350 and solved that issue

You made a really nice pie MD
