Caution

when making this pie!  Make sure you use a deep dish crust or make two!!  It will spill over and make a mess in your oven.  I had never made a pecan pie until last year.  My sister-in-law always made the best pecan pie I had ever eaten and was the one who always brought them to family get dinners.  My husband wanted me to try to make one so I started looking for recipes and found this one.  It makes a great pie and I have shared it with several friends and they suggested that I post it here.  Pecan pie is a holiday favorite and I hope you and your family enjoy it as much as we do.
