Desserts 
When I was doing my research about Thanksgiving deserts I found a very special traditional thanksgiving dessert which I wanted to modify and try for my Thanksgiving dinner. This recipe is all about it and believe me, its super delicious and you will be amused with crust and a sweet pecan filling.

DIRECTIONS:

- Add in the honey, vanilla and eggs, one by one, whisking constantly. Add in the pecans and mix very well with the use of a spatula.
- Remove the mold from the refrigerator and fill the dough with the pecan mixture.
- Smooth the surface with a spatula. Slide the mold into the hot oven and bake for 50 minutes
- When the pie is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes, before unmolding it. Serve warm or cold.
- Enjoy your dessert!
