The best pecan pie ever!

Hello food lovers,

Do you love pies? Do you love pecans? Well you're in luck because our friend Mahmoud makes the best pecan pie you will ever taste and he has agreed to share his famous recipe with us! Although originally Jordanian, Mahmoud studied in the US for many years and brought this recipe back with him all the way from Nebraska. We have to admit, if you're looking for something light this isn't for you but you will be sorry if you don't give it a try. It certainly changed our lives forever! Thank you Mahmoud, your pie rocks!  Scroll down for full recipe.
