Cooking Corner - Sugar Free Pecan Pie

Eureka!

This sugar-free pecan pie is perfect for those trying to limit the sweets this year, or for anyone who is diabetic. This is an easy recipe to double or triple.

I finally got the recipe I have been wanting to post. Last month I asked my other sister, the baker of the family, to give me her sugar-free pecan pie recipe. After hounding her over and over (she was not giving in) I finally gave up. Being the oldest of my siblings, and usually our babysitter when my parents had to run errands, I learned real fast that she is not one to mess with. Well yesterday, she emailed it to me. YIPPY! Maybe the holidays had something to do with this, or perhaps it does pay after all to be an annoying sister.

Thanks again to my sister Chene French for finally giving in. Now all I have to do is get her secrets to the homemade bread she makes every year. Wish me luck!
