Peach pie for Thanksgiving? That's a first. IMHO, peach pie is a
summer pie, but whattheheck.

I posted a pecan pie a couple of days ago that is perfect every time
and dead easy:

Pecan Pie

desserts

1 baked pie crust
6 tablespoon unsalted butter; cut into one inch pieces
1 cup dark brown sugar; packed
1/2 teaspoon Salt
3 large eggs
1/4 cup light corn syrup
12 ounces pecans; whole

1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 275°. Melt
butter in medium heatproof bowl set in skillet of water maintained at
just below simmer. Remove bowl from skillet; mix in sugar and salt
with wooden spoon until butter is absorbed. Beat in eggs, then corn
syrup and vanilla. Return bowl to hot water; stir until mixture is
shiny an dhot to the touch, about 130°F. Remove from heat.

2. Arrange pecans in an even layer in the baked pie shell. Pour
mixture over evenly. Bake until center feels soft, like gelatin, when
gently pressed, about 50 to 60 mins. Transfer to rack; let cool
completely, at least 4 hour. Serve pie at room temperature or warm
with lightly sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

"If the soup had been as hot as the claret, if the claret had been as
old as the bird, and if the bird's breasts had been as full as the
waitress's, it would have been a very good dinner."
