Pecan Pie

Our electric co-op and the Texas Pecan Board holds a holiday contest every year. There are 3 categories: pecan pie, sweet, and savory--I submitted for 2 of the 3.

The Pecan Pie I submitted is my own recipe I developed in an effort to cut some of the sugar, and eliminate the pastry crust. Even in true-blue legit pecan pies, I prefer the pecans over the gooey center, and since I've been making low-carb crusts out of pecans for jello and sugar-free pudding pies, I gave a pecan-crusted pecan pie a try and penned it 'Pecan-a-Palooza' as it's very, very pecan-y.

I'd share my recipe, but I can't remember if it's legal or not, and I don't want to disqualify myself, it's a $2,500 prize!!! I will show you the pictures though...
