Best Dark Pecan Pie Virginian Hostess Style Recipes
PRALINE PECAN PIE A LA VIRGINIA HOSPITALITY
This is a tasty pecan chess pie, but its custard is the color and taste of pralines, and it is a little less intense than Dark Pecan Pie - Virginia Hostess Style (although DH prefers the "dark" version). This recipe came from Virginia Hospitality by the Junior League of Hampton Roads. It took my pie 60 minutes in the oven. Be sure to put pie pan on pizza pan to catch any spillage. I added the perfect pecan halves just before baking; they improve the look of the pie for entertaining. I learned through ZWT5 that the French created the PECAN PIE after settling in New Orleans and being introduced to the pecan by the Natives, so it is considered a Creole dish.

DARK PECAN PIE - VIRGINIAN HOSTESS STYLE
This is a very fine dark pecan pie, its chess pie custard looks similar to commercial pies. This was adapted from a recipe in The TOH Cookbook, but any good Virginian must improve the appearance of her pie by placing perfect pecan halves in a decorative pattern on top of the chopped pecan filling. The pie took me 60 minutes in total baking time.

SOUTHERN PECAN PIE W/ DARK CORN SYRUP
Pecan pie as it's meant to be. Tried and true. 1 Tablespoon of bourbon really takes it over the top, but it is still fabulous without it if you would rather not use this ingredient.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Mix the white sugar, brown sugar, salt, corn syrup, butter, eggs, bourbon (optional) and vanilla together in a bowl. Arrange the pecans in the bottom of the unbaked pie shell.
- Pour the syrup mixture over the top. Bake the pie until it's no longer loose and jiggly, 1 hour 10 minutes, being careful not to burn pecans and crust. (Cover with foil for part of the baking time if it browns too quickly).
- Allow to cool for several hours or overnight. Serve in thin slivers with freshly whipped cream.
