SWEET CARROT PECAN PIE



Sweet Carrot Pecan Pie image

During the depression, government food banks provided potatoes and carrots. Many dishes were developed such as carrot pie to bring something sweet to the table without taking too much from already empty pockets. Here's a modern day version using sweetened condensed milk to give the pie a smooth creamy consistency. Enjoy!
