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.

I love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..

Instagram post 2192265495171179698_20110111 A little but special throwback to our Gift Wrap & Give Back Holiday Party! We gathered up the gals for some bites, wrapped donated gifts & wrote cards - all for kids who don’t get to celebrate the holidays or receive the kind of gifts most do....this is one of the easiest ways you can get together w. friends this holiday season while doing some REAL good!

Grab your friends, have them each donate a toy/gift for a local community drive or a family in need, then have each person bring a dish & something to wrap with! Get all the ideas for this party on the blog & make your own special “Give Back” holiday party💚
Instagram post 2190101455565098681_20110111 December ..... while most dive into the crazed chaos, I will honor your Slowness🌿I will still celebrate the things I love about the holiday season, but I will do it in a more natural way; an homage to the restorative & simplistic beauty of Mother Nature this time of year.

I will continue to be grateful, showing my kindness & love towards others, even if it’s a simple act of baking cookies or giving away a coat.

I will reflect & cherish all the days before. I will live in each present moment, but also dream & envision new plans for goals I know I’m on my way to achieving, new places to explore, new adventures, new people to meet.

I will continue to learn & grow into an even better version of myself as I celebrate the final days of another year & the beginnings of a new.....✨
Instagram post 2187181187284835024_20110111 Grateful. For the good, the bad, the unpredictable...grateful for it all! Hope you all spend your Thanksgiving well, may it bring you comfort & joy🧡🍁
Instagram post 2182868807184681856_20110111 It’s Friday!! How about we take a few moments to really finalize all our Thanksgiving to do’s & even cross off some upcoming holiday tasks so that we can spend the rest of the weekend doing the little (or big) things that bring us Joy!! Bake some cookies, put up the decorations, do some cleaning, read a book, go see a movie, get crafty w. the kiddos or go for a hike! Whatever it is, make sure it’s enjoyable & makes you fully appreciate the present moment✨
