pecan pie-in-a-jar

A favorite in the American South, pecan pie is generally believed to be a 20th-century invention based on traditional sugar pies – simple blends of brown sugar, eggs, milk and butter. This pecan pie filling, made in the hill country of central Texas, lets you quickly create a pie that captures the taste of the classic southern recipe. Simply blend the filling with butter and eggs, then pour into two pie shells and bake.
