“It has chocolate and lots of butter and brown sugar and of course, pecans. Frank said you didn’t care for coconut so I left out that ingredient and added half a cup more of the nuts. I thought the pecan pie would ship better than the meringue or fruit ones; and it should stay fresh since we serve it a couple of days past the bake day at the diner and nobody seems to notice. I’m not sure if you heard that I now officially bake pies at the diner for Fred and Bea. You know, they used to serve ...just brownies, maybe a pound cake once in a while, but they’ve never been known for their desserts. I started making pies last year just before the festival, won the grand prize at the bake off, and took a class later that season at the community college on creating tasty desserts. I like fixing the pies and have even come up with a few recipes on my own. I just find one I like and add a little something else or take out an ingredient I don’t care for, replace it with something different, kind of like the extra nuts for the coconut in your pecan one.MoreLessRead More Read Less
