bourbon pecan pie

Whiskey nut tart

Bourbon pecan pie is pecan pie made with bourbon whiskey added to the filling.

The alcohol mostly bakes off, leaving a caramel-like depth that complements the buttery sweetness of the pecans and corn syrup.

It's a staple of Southern American baking, especially around Thanksgiving and Christmas: She brought her grandmother's bourbon pecan pie to the potluck.
