Rum Pecan Pie

December 6, 2013 · 4 Comments

IMG_2860The ever-so decadent pecan pie is an indulgence I typically stay clear from, not only for my own sake but that of my family’s health too. But with it being the holidays, I usually make whatever they request, so I couldn’t turn them down. I’ve always had great things said about my traditional pecan pie, but if I’m going to indulge then it’s going to be extra special. Browned butter and rum, how can anything go wrong with that! 

I’m quite the aficionado for liquor infused desserts, and had to make this amazing recipe. I did replace the corn syrup with molasses, since I enjoy its deep intense flavors, and it’s also better for you. I may or may not have poured a little too much rum in my browned butter, but I figured from the empty pie plate that it wasn’t an issue. The combination of browned butter, rum and molasses made for a gooey custard like filling, making this one pie to treat your loved ones with this holiday season.

Rum Pecan Pie

Ingredients {Makes one 9″ pie}

1/4 cup – Unsalted Butter

1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon – Spiced Rum {I used Appleton Estate but use your favorite}

1 cup – Brown Sugar {packed}

1 cup – Unsulfured Molasses

3 large – Eggs

1 teaspoon – Pure Vanilla Extract

1/2 teaspoon – Salt

1 cup – Pecans {roughly chopped}

Recipe {Adapted from Sugar and Charm}

Pre-heat oven to 400*F. Roll pie dough to a 1/8″ thick round, then drape over and press into pie pan. 

In a skillet, brown the butter until it turns a golden brown and smells nutty {about 5 minutes}. Keep a close eye on it, as it can easily burn. Let the butter cool a bit, then slowly stir in the rum.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and molasses. Whisk in the rum browned butter until combined, then add in the eggs, salt and vanilla and whisk until completely incorporated. Stir in the chopped pecans. Pour the filling into the prepared pie dish, and bake for 20 minutes. If the edges begin to brown too quickly, place foil over the edges while the center continues to bake. Turn oven down to 325*F and bake for 30 minutes more, or until the center of the pie jiggles just slightly. Allow to cool completely before serving.

This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chriss This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chrissyteigen recipe wouldn’t be considered traditional but it does celebrate the beautiful Thai flavors I love. I’ll take all the spice & lemongrass please🍜😋!! It’s certainly become a staple of mine, one I’ve recreated several times & I highly recommend you save in your back pocket because it will leave you craving more...& more!! 

I used to post lots of recipes on the blog ‘til weddings/events/design took center stage & hoping to do so more again. Get this recipe on the blog now!
I read something yesterday, that made me instantly I read something yesterday, that made me instantly stop & reflect..."Some people think that having Hope makes you naive, but in my mind, it's so much harder to choose Hope over being angry or frustrated..." As someone who considers herself quite a hopeful person, I've had this on my mind since. Let's not confuse Hope w. toxic positivity {in which negative feelings or hardships are pushed aside}, when there is Hope, we still acknowledge our worries, the drawbacks of life, the sadness but still know that there is good.

We've all been doing our best nearing a year into this pandemic; the lives lost, families broken, the uncertain long-term issues, jobs, livelihoods disrupted & most recently too many people to count, struggling after a natural disaster. My heart breaks & is w. all of you, but despite the darkness, what I've also seen during these trying times...is Hope & Love. Communities & strangers coming together to help one another however way they can, even when they too are struggling to get by. That right there, is Hope. Be gentle with yourself, be gentle w. those around you. We’re all doing the best we can🤍
