Pecan Pie - More Pecans, Less Sugar!

Submitted by LynnieB

"Pecan Pie is a southern favorite. But every pecan pie I tasted was way too sweet. I found this recipe years ago in a magazine. My husband won't eat any other pecan pie, anywhere. This recipe is has the traditional pie filling, but not sickeningly sweet and it is loaded with pecans! I am asked to bring it to every family gathering. Enjoy!"
