Mix well . Sprinkle raisens over the bottom of the unbaked pie crust; cover with pecans. Pour filling over raisens and pecans. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a knife inserted halfway between the center and the edge comes out clean. Set aside for at least 30 minutes before cutting. Makes 6 to 8 servings. French Vanilla Cool-Whip tops this pie very well

that sounds good, although since I don't care for rasins I'd omit them and keep the burbon to 1/4 cup. What brand of burbon do you use for yours?

 

[ghost308]

Well I've tried several brands and I found out the cheap stuff Old Crow worked best, if your going to ommit the raisens then I'd soak the pecans in the bourbon.

Sounds good Ghost! Is it okay for kids to eat this?

 

[chrish]

That does sound good, and the pie too

 

[ghost308]

Yes it's kid safe , my boys love it , any alcohol in the pie will be cooked out only the bourbon flavor will be left, this is really a very old converted pecan pie recipe crossed with a Kentucky Bourbon Pie aka Kentucky Derby Pie.
The longer you let the raisens soak in the bourbon the stronger the bourbon flavor.I let mine soak over night cause , well I Love Bourbon LOL

Sounds good to me!!! I'll use Jack Daniels and soak the raisens and pecans for a (couple) days...That should be pretty tasty
