Recipe Exchange: Jennifer Chandler’s Bourbon-Chocolate Pecan Pie
A pecan pie is on Jennifer Chandler's Thanksgiving table every year. It's a tradition that started with her grandmother, and she continues today. (Couresy Justin Fox Burks)
I love Thanksgiving. And if I am being completely honest, it’s all because of the pie!
Don’t get me wrong, I love spending the day with my family and friends. I even usually treat myself to two servings of sides such as dressing, sweet potatoes and my grandmother’s cauliflower au gratin.
But the pies are the part of the feast I look forward to the most.
