Most pecan pie recipes i have found call for 2 cups of sugar -- one cup of cron syrup plus one cup of either granulated or brown sugar -- which results in pies so sweet they can give you a sugar headache after a couple of bites. This recipe has less sugar, but the molasses, butter and vanilla bring out the wonderful flavour of the pecans. As with any nut used in cooking, use only the freshest of pecans.
