DIVINE DESERT -- MAPLE SYRUP PECAN PIE

Pecan pie made with maple syrup is one of the most FABULOUS things I have ever eaten. However, it is clear that I am NEVER going to convince professional bakers to actually sell maple syrup pecan pie.

Maybe we can start a health rumor that maple syrup, a product of maple trees, is healthier than corn syrup. I personally believe that maple syrup is the magic and life giving tree elixir that the elven need to exist. %<)

Meanwhile, those of us who are talented cooks, capable of actually making pies, can make our own maple syrup pecan pie. It is as easy as substituting maple syrup for the corn syrup. Add a tablespoon of extra flour as the maple syrup is not quite as thick as the cheap syrup. 

BTW, the lower grades of maple syrup are actually tastier, and better in the pie. Maybe I should move to Canada, where maple syrup is sold in buckets.

Unfortunately, I no longer feel like baking anything. And I have NO IDEA where my Tupperware rolling pin and mat are located. 

I guess I will just have to suffer, and take maple syrup to restaurants that actually make, rather than microwave, buttermilk pancakes.
