Pecan Pie Made Without Corn Syrup

[kabowman]

I need a pecan pie receipe without corn syrup. Now, I have found some online I can try (and combine the directions for several to get one I like) - however, I would prefer to have one that is tried and true.

If you have one, I would be eternally grateful if you woule either post it here or e-mail me the receipe!!!

As a side note-I will replace the butter with oil due to dairy and soy intolerance so don't worry about substitutions...

Thanks...

Well I must say that can't help you because this year will be my first holiday season on the diet but since I can have corn syrup (as far as I know now) I was just worried as to how to make the pie crusts. I bake about three times a year (during holidays) so I buy frozen ready made crusts which of course I can't do this year. What do you use for the crust for your pies? Please says it's easy to make or otherwise, pecan pie may be something else I give up. I try to enjoy cooking/baking but I just don't.

I use (I think because it has been almost a year and I will have to search my cookbooks) Bette Hagman's Gluten Free Cooks Comfort Foods pie shell receipe - modified to not include vinegar because I cannot tolerate yeast and I have used Palm Shortening in the past but this year will try lard due to some tummy problems that I believe are from the shortening. I can't use Crisco due to corn and soy intolerance.

Pie crust is easy - use very cold water and do not overwork the dough or the crust will become tough. The rest is simple. I don't have a pastry blender any more - apparently my ex's current wife liked it when she moved in with my stuff. That was one of the things I didn't get back and have never replaced. I use two forks and that works fine.

Everything with baking is feel and trial and error - practice makes perfect. I suggest you make a couple of pies before the big day.
