Buttermilk Syrup

Buttermilk Syrup
 
 
I don't have picture of this but trust me when I tell you it is divine.
 
 
4 cups sugar
1 cup butter
2 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp vanilla
 
Mix all ingredients except vanilla in a tall heavy sauce pan. Boil over low heat for 5 minutes. Stir frequently. Remove from heat and add vanilla.
I didn't say this was healthy =)
 
We served this over white chocolate macadamia nut bread French Toast. Bread was found at Harmons. Just mix French toast mixture like normal.
 


Pecan pie


                                                                        Pecan Pie

So I made my very first pie including crust for Thanksgiving. Pretty proud that it looked good and tasted amazing.

Use your favorite pie crust recipe
 Filling:
Cream Together:
1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
mix in 1 cup light corn syrup
add 3 slightly beaten eggs
1 tsp vanilla
mix well then stir in 1 cup pecans

Bake at 450 for 10 minutes, then turn oven to 300 and bake 30 plus minutes. There will be a slight jiggle to the pie but not a whole lot.  Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.....yummy!
