I thought I had already responded to this, but it appears that it didn’t go through.

In short, it is a traditional Southern pecan pie with a deliciously gooey filling.

Hmmmm….interesting. Cooking is all about chemistry–and I flunked that subject on several occasions. Thus, I can’t answer with any measure of certitude what the butter does–and what your pie won’t do because you omitted it. The texture will probably be different and the taste less buttery, but other than that? You may have concocted a low fat version of Jane’s World-Famous, etc Pecan Pie. Let us know.

Hi Everyone~

I wanted some advice….I just baked my pecan pie for tomorrow Thanksgiving but to my horror…I was warming the butter to soften it in the microwave and FORGOT to add it in! Now the pies are finished…Are They going to be un-eatable??

Sorry for the delay. My pie, as was hers, is ooey gooey, yummy deliciousness. In other words, It is a more traditional Southern pecan pie. I try to sample other pecan pies when I get the chance, but haven’t found a recipe I like as well. Some use brown sugar instead of corn syrup, but there is no comparison.

Although less traditional, I expect your recipe is quite tasty, too.

@byjane, I have been writing drafts of blog posts and then tossing them away, wondering why I am so self-centred to imagine that others are interested in my small life.

I think that counts as a Bloggy Crisis, don’t you?

But I have rashly invited guests to experience Thanksgiving on a narrow boat, so if I overcome my Crisis I will post the outcome. Your recipe has been bookmarked…

@DuchessOmnium,
I just love that word ‘iteration’! And where have you been recently???? But to the meat (?!) of your comment: I actually don’t throw the sauce out. I’m far too frugal–and too much of a pecan/caramel nut to allow an ounce of the stuff to escape. Maybe I’ll try it with maple syrup this year–I must confess that that sounds so much healthier than corn syrup!

@Linda,
What is the consistency of your mom’s pie? Mine is not (forgive the technical term) very goopy. What you get is mostly pecans sheathed in the sugar/butter mixture, rather than swimming in it.
