Seattle Pi Day

Hi fellow foodies! This past week I took a spontaneous trip to Seattle to visit a good friend of mine, beautiful place if you ever get the chance.

During my time in Seattle I got the wonderful chance to not only celebrate the famous Pi Day, but bake on Pi Day!

My friend and his roommates baked and bought. We tried out a nationally ranked place called, High 5 Pie. We indulged in Salted Caramel Pear Pie, Apple Pie and Chicken Pot Pie. As for baking we made Bourbon Pecan Pie and Frozen Margarita Pie. I assisted on the Bourbon Pie... here is the how-to!

BOURBON PECAN PIE
ingredients:
1 cup of sugar
3 tablespoons of butter 'melted'
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
3 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 to 2 cups of pecan halves
2 tablespoons good-quality bourbon
1 (9-inch) deep-dish pie shell, unbaked

directions:
Preheat oven 375 degrees F.

  1. in medium bowl mix sugar, melted butter.
  2. then add corn syrup, eggs, pecan and bourbon- stir until all ingredients are combined.
  3. pour mixture into unbaked pie shell, in pie dish, and place on a heavy-duty cookie sheet.
  4. bake for 10 minutes, then lower temperature to 350 degrees F, and continue baking for 25 minutes, or until pie is set
  5. remove from oven and cool on a wire rack
