I have to wonder if the other people who have reviewed this recipe have ever tasted a real pecan pie. For one thing, real pecan pie has what "The Joy of Cooking" calls a "transparent" filling; this filling is more of a custard. I do not consider this an acceptable substitute for pecan pie, nor is it tasty enough to make for its own merit.

I was wanting pecan pie, this was a nice try. I love pecans so I added more...not good. The ones that were submerged got weird soggy since the filling wasn't sugar. The taste and texture was good. Next time I think I will lightly toast the pecans or sprinkle 2 teaspoons of sugar on top to help the pecan get carmelized. I used a regular pie crust, but rolled it out to twice the size to cut the carbs and still be easy. that worked great.
